Roland Morgan, 35, of Providence, RI, had a previous gun possession conviction from Rhode Island, along with arrests that included a mad chase and crash following a theft last year in Massachusetts, records show.
Besides a .25-caliber handgun, Franklin Lakes Officer Christopher Heffner also found a small amount of Ecstasy, more than 100 Gabapentin pills without a prescription and some pot in the 2001 Toyota during the mid-morning incident Saturday on Colonial Road, Capt. John Bakelaar said.
Morgan also tried identifying himself as someone else, the captain said.
He remained held Tuesday in the Bergen County Jail on weapons charges that include being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, as well as drug offenses and a hindering count.
