Leigha G. Brown, 33, faces a preliminary Level 6 felony of possession of a syringe and Charles Jermaine Coleman, 37, faces two preliminary Level 6 felonies of unlawful carrying of a handgun and unlawful carrying of a handgun without a permit following an incident in the 600 block of North Broadway Street in Seymour on Thursday.

Officers found a syringe, drug paraphernalia, and a .9 mm handgun under Coleman’s seat in the back of the car during a search. A fully loaded magazine, which contained three hollow point rounds of ammunition and seven rounds of ball ammunition also was found.

One hollow point round was seated in the chamber, according to a police report by Schapson.

Brown and Coleman were booked around 9:30 p.m. at the Jackson County Jail Thursday without bond.
