The Jeep was seized by Wilson’s Mills Police.
Hammond was transported to the Johnston County Detention Center.

Great job to the officer of the Wilson’s Mills PD. Thank God no LEO’s were injured. This trash needs to be taken out.
Taken out where Steve?
Oh no, not MARIJUANA! Calling someone “trash” for selling a plant is a little outlandish there bud.
Amazing the officer was somehow able to distinguish the smell of marijuana versus hemp. I’d love to know the training this LEO took.
Also sad that we are wasting tax dollars incarcerating people for marijuana.
Keep it growing time to legally be able to use Marijuana for recreational and medical, and it would cut down on this type of crime. Such a waste of the Leo’s time and my tax money. We need dispensaries no disparities.
Steve you sound like the trash..When they legalize Marijuana they still gonna have some sort of excuse to harass you in NC.. Man I just don’t know nomore..Need to ban cigarettes the same way in that case..
You all think that what I said was just about the drugs. You people are the problem and must be high as a kite. Look at the pictures and read, GUN, GUN, GUN! What do you think, he was a collector of guns and that these guns had no purpose. What the h*ll is wrong with all of you? I do not approve of MARIJUANA but whatever, but I do not and never will approve of any other drugs at all. The thing is this was about the GUNS! Now if you think the guns were ok then you need some serious help yourselves!
Did all of you fail to read the part about THREE concealed handguns under the seat of a 19 year old? BET YOU they’re stolen too. Last I checked, 19 year olds can’t buy handguns in NC. Pretty sure you can’t buy marijuana in legal states at legal dispensaries at that age either. I agree with Steve. It’s not about marijuana legalization. It’s about getting thugs off the streets.
He has an arrest record for breaking and entering in February of this year too
Thank you for reading the entire story and understanding. This is the problem with society today. I own a gun and have been trained to use it and have a concealed carry permit from the JCSO but would only use it as trained. Other people with guns use it for the wrong reasons and kill, that includes young kids today. Sad, really sad but it’s ok, I am the trash.
