A Cookeville officer stopped Stasher for speeding on Tennessee Ave. The warrant states that Stasher admitted to having a revoked driver’s license.

According to warrant records, Stasher gave consent to search the vehicle.

Officers found a loaded Glock 19, digital scales, and a baggie containing 24 grams of a crystal rock substance believed to be cocaine. The arrest warrant indicates that two magazines were found under the drink cups in the center console of the vehicle as well.

Past records show that Stasher is on parole for an aggravated robbery in Nashville and was convicted of Felony drug possession.

Stasher is scheduled to appear in court on October 8.
