Crofton man charged with possessing stolen gun

A Crofton man was arrested Tuesday morning in Hopkinsville for allegedly being in possession of a stolen gun.

A Hopkinsville police officer stopped 28-year old Randolph Scott of Crofton for not wearing his seatbelt in the area of the Fort Campbell Boulevard McDonalds and an arrest citation says there was an odor of marijuana coming from his car.

Scott reportedly told police he had a gun in his pocket that he had inherited from an uncle and said he didn’t know if it was stolen.

A computer check on the gun showed it had been reported stolen in 2014.

Scott was arrested and charged with receiving a stolen firearm, possession of marijuana and failure to wear seat belt.
