San Rafael police have arrested a man on allegations of possessing more than 5 pounds of marijuana and a loaded .38-caliber revolver.
Brandon Joseph Conwell, 35, of Vacaville fled at the sight of a patrol officer in the 700 block of Francisco Boulevard East shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday, police said. Officers caught up to Conwell, searched him and the path he’d taken, and found the marijuana, bags for packaging and sales and the gun with five rounds in the cylinder, police said.
Conwell, who was on supervised release from a former prison or rehabilitation term, was arrested on suspicion of illegal firearm possession, carrying a loaded weapon in public, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of marijuana for sale, police said. He was booked into the Marin County Jail, where he remained Friday in lieu of $15,000 bail.
