Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies have arrested an armed Cedar Rapids man they say fled a traffic stop near Shueyville.
According to arrest records, just after 2:15 Tuesday morning a 2019 Kia with Florida plates fled from a traffic stop on 120th Street between Shueyville and Interstate 380.
A passenger, later identified as 25-year-old Dadiri Hassani of Park Avenue SE, allegedly ran from the vehicle after it crashed. He was later located by a drone, and Hassani was booked into the Johnson County Jail just after 2:15 Friday afternoon.
A search of the Kia turned up a loaded firearm on the floorboard where Hassani had been sitting. He has out-of-state felony convictions, making him ineligible to carry a weapon.
Hassani is charged with Person Ineligible to Carry a Dangerous Weapon and Interference With Official Acts With a Firearm. If convicted on both charges, Hassani faces a maximum of seven years in prison.
