Shreveport Police Arrest Two Men on Gun Charges

The Shreveport Police have been working hard to get guns out of the hands of criminals!

Shreveport Police officers contacted Jonathan Tucker, 21, while he was driving a stolen vehicle. An investigation revealed that Tucker was also in possession of a firearm. Officers determined that Tucker is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing any firearm. His prior convictions include aggravated cruelty to animals, motor vehicle theft, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, and sexual battery—all offenses that disqualify him from firearm ownership.

Officers contacted Robert Stegall, who was found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia and several weapons. Further investigation revealed that Stegall is also a convicted felon, previously convicted of drug possession. He has been charged with three counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
