NOLENSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Nashville man is facing multiple charges after he reportedly left his driver’s license behind while running away from a Nolensville traffic stop.
The Nolensville Police Department said a sergeant stopped a car on Nolensville Road around 10 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25 for speeding.
The officer noticed a Glock pistol in the seat by the front passenger, as well as “other indicators of possible criminal activity,” so the officer called for backup and had all three occupants step out of the car, according to officials.

While searching the vehicle, authorities said they found a second pistol under the driver’s seat, along with marijuana, pills that were believed to be Xanax, and materials used for packaging the items for resale.
“We guess this is where the driver identified as Ochon Alfred Olweny Abdu, decided he needed to make a quick exit,” the department wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday, March 27. “Abdu ran from the scene into the darkness.”
