Officers observed the suspect reaching into his waistband to an unknown object. Officers were able to gain control of the suspect’s hands and place him into handcuffs.

As officers were searching the suspect, they recovered a firearm from the suspect’s waistband. The firearm was determined to be Taurus G2 with twelve rounds in the magazine.

Rondel Hernandez, 23, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and unlawful possession of a large-capacity feeding device. Ocyrus Williams, 18, was charged with failure to stop for a police officer and failure to stop for a stop sign. He was also wanted on an outstanding warrant for discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, police say.

Innocent, etc.
