On Saturday, Nov. 21 at approximately 2:40 a.m., a patrol officer contacted a male, later identified as 34-year-old Raymone Tillman of Texas, seated in the driver seat of a vehicle parked in a motel lot on the 2900 block of Colorado Boulevard. Upon contacting Tillman, the officer could smell the strong odor of marijuana coming from inside his vehicle and could also see loose marijuana buds and a rolled joint in plain view on the center console.

Tillman told the officer he was not currently smoking marijuana but had been earlier and falsely identified himself to the officer as one of his relatives. During a search of the vehicle, the officer located a loaded handgun that had been reported stolen out of Phoenix, Arizona.

Tillman was arrested and booked for carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle. Upon being fingerprinted, jail staff positively identified Tillman and discovered he had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Texas. Tillman admitted to identifying himself as a relative because he knew he had a warrant. Tillman was additionally booked for falsely impersonating another.
