A Clarke County grand jury this week indicted a convicted felon who Athens-Clarke police said may have been reaching for a gun during a January traffic stop in east Athens.
Athens-Clarke County police said that despite being told to stop what he was doing, 52-year-old Gaylon Gene Vaden kept reaching under the seat of the pickup truck he was in and had to be pulled by officers out of the vehicle.
A loaded pistol was found under the seat where he had been reaching, according to police.
