Inside his vehicle, deputies found a backpack with a loaded Smith & Wesson .40 caliber firearm, a large plastic baggie containing multiple smaller plastic baggies with suspected marijuana, a clear plastic bottle containing a liquid believed to be PCP, and a clear plastic bottle containing suspected ecstasy pills.

McCummings has a prior felony conviction and was prohibited from possessing any firearm or ammunition.

He pleaded guilty to the charge on May 31.
