Pot Smell From Concord Man Leads To Stolen Gun: Police

MANCHESTER, NH — A Concord man was arrested Tuesday in Manchester after police said they found him with a stolen gun and marijuana while he drove around at night without headlights. David Weekly, 22, faces a host of charges. He was held in custody pending an arraignment.

Manchester Police Lt. Brian O’Keefe said an officer saw Weekly driving a Chevrolet Impala around on Pearl Street without headlights and pulled him over.

"Officer (Michael) Roscoe smelled a strong odor of burnt marijuana as soon as Weekly rolled down the window," O'Keefe said in a statement. "A back-up officer arrived and noticed a small amount of marijuana on the passenger side floorboard of the vehicle, so Weekly was removed from the car."

The officers said they found a Glock 17 in Weekly's pants. The gun, which was stolen from a Manchester home in August, had a round in the chamber, O'Keefe said. The officers also reported they found a loaded 31-round magazine, three bags of marijuana weighing 9 grams and $1,500 in cash in the vehicle.

Weekly, a convicted felon, was charged with receiving stolen property, drug possession with intent to distribute, felony use of a firearm, being a convicted felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and a vehicle violation.
