They also saw a Chevrolet Malibu stuck in brush trying to reverse. Police say the driver tossed a gun, magazine and black backpack from the car. 

The driver, later identified as Lewis, was asked to step out of the car and he complied. He was arrested at the scene. 

Police found a black firearm with no make, model or serial number, often referred to as a "ghost gun." The firearm magazine and backpack, which contained small bags of what appeared to be cannabis, were also recovered.

Lewis was charged on Thursday and was ordered held without bond during a court hearing that same day.
