A suspect with a shotgun, a loaded .38-caliber pistol, multiple knives and baseball bats was arrested in the parking lot of a CVS Pharmacy.
Joshua Mathew Olters, 39, of Ocklawaha, was driving a gray Chevy SUV on Saturday night on U.S. 301 when he was pulled over for a non-functioning passenger-side headlight, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. A K-9 unit was summoned to the scene and the dog alerted on the vehicle, indicating the likely presence of drugs.
The Georgia native admitted he had a pistol tucked in his waistband.
A search of the vehicle turned up a shotgun, shotgun shells, knives and baseball bats as well as pipes with the residue of methamphetamine.
He was arrested on weapons violations as well as a charge of possession of drug equipment. He was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $8,000 bond.
