On September 16, North Charleston Police Department officers arrested 38-year-old Isiah Stroud for unlawful possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. The arrest occurred near Rivers and Helm Avenues, an area under increased patrol due to ongoing drug activity and crime associated with a nearby hotel.

An officer on proactive patrol observed Stroud attempting to avoid her before striking another vehicle. Upon contact, the officer detected the smell of marijuana and detained Stroud. A subsequent search of his vehicle revealed a handgun in the center console. Records confirmed Stroud has multiple prior convictions for violent crimes and is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Stroud was taken into custody and booked at the Al Cannon Detention Center.
