VERBATIM:

Anthony Long-Blackwell was taken into custody Friday after 2pm. Murfreesboro Police Officer Reginal Primas reports while on patrol in the Greenland Drive area, he was dispatched to multiple complaints of drug activity and shots fired.

Primas says he approached the suspect vehicle and observed a backseat passenger consuming alcohol. The subject was asked for identification, which he said he couldn't provide. He did allegedly say his name was Anthony Long. He reportedly gave the officer an incorrect name and Social Security number. When the proper identification was made, it was realized Long-Blackwell was on probation on felony drug charges.

This led to a probable cause search, which revealed a loaded 9mm handgun. Long-Blackwell was taken into custody and charged. He will answer to the charges in General Sessions Court on June 14th.
