(CBS DETROIT) – A Michigan man has been indicted for possessing a gun as a felon after he was involved in a disturbance that a detective encountered while running a marathon in May.
Jaeontae Moore, 23, of Kalamazoo, was indicted by a federal grand jury for one count of felon in possession of a firearm, which carries a possible maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
During the Kalamazoo Marathon on May 5, an off-duty Kalamazoo detective was running when she saw a disturbance happening with a man and woman inside a car that was parked in the 2000 block of Winchell Avenue.
The detective witnessed the man pull a gun out of his waistband, which prompted the woman to get out of the vehicle.
She pursued the suspect, identified as Moore, and alerted other officers of the incident. Moore fled officers and was arrested after he was found underneath a boat in a backyard in the 1600 block of Chevy Chase Boulevard.
