Javier Davis Howell, 33, faces serious charges, including illegal firearm possession, linked to a car accident where authorities found a gun and ammunition left behind. Howell asserts that his vehicle, which crashed into a light pole while evading a police checkpoint, was stolen from his workplace earlier that day and claims he was napping nearby when it happened.
During his testimony, Howell revealed that he did not report the theft due to confusion and that he only learned about the crash through a co-worker.
