A Lambert man is facing a weapons charge after being pulled over for speeding.

On Nov. 1 at around 2:30 a.m., an officer with the Oxford Police Department conducted a traffic stop for speeding on Highway 6. During the stop, the officer found a handgun that was reported stolen a few days prior from another vehicle in an apartment complex in Oxford.
