They didn’t have a permit for the guns they had on them, so police in South Bend took them to jail.

James Stewart, 19, and Marcellus Taylor, 26, were pulled over by police in South Bend.

The officers said the car they were in appeared to have a phony license plate. Stewart ran away from the traffic stop — one of the officers was able to keep Taylor from doing the same.

The other officer was able to catch Stewart.

The officers searched the car and found two guns, which they did not have a permit for, and some pot.

Both of them are still waiting to be formally charges, but they are in the St. Joseph County Jail looking at drug and gun charges.
