An armed Illinois man has been arrested after a traffic stop near Lone Tree.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office reports pulling over a 2018 BMW 760 on Highway 22 near Utah Avenue just before 2am Saturday. The vehicle had reportedly been speeding at 67 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone and crossing the fog and center line multiple times.
Deputies allege the driver…identified as 50-year-old Christopher Rogers of Lisle, Illinois…showed signs of intoxication and refused breath testing.
Rogers was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated. Post-arrest, Rogers reportedly admitted to having a firearm in the glove box. Deputies report finding a Springfield Hellcat 9mm handgun loaded with a magazine in the glove box, as well as a second magazine under the passenger seat.
In addition to the OWI charge, Rogers now faces a charge of Possession of a Dangerous Weapon While Intoxicated. If convicted on both charges, he faces a maximum of two years in jail.
