Warrant Arrest Turns Up Loaded Gun

An East Naples teenager was arrested on a felony charge after deputies say they found a loaded handgun on him while executing an out-of-county warrant Monday evening.

Deputies responded to 6255 Vista Garden Way, Apt. D, to assist the state probation officers in serving a warrant issued by Highlands County to Jordan Shaquiel Dillard, 17, of the same address.

Reports say that deputies located a loaded .38 caliber revolver around Dillard's waistband. A further search of Dillard’s room uncovered a BB pistol, an empty speed loader for a revolver and another speed loader for a revolver loaded with six .38 special rounds of ammunition.

Dillard is currently on state probation, is a convicted felon and has been adjudicated as an adult, according to reports.

Dillard was charged with possession of a firearm/ammo by a Florida convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm and as a fugitive from Highlands County due to violation of probation.
