INGLEWOOD, CA—He came across the country to get arrested for a great many felonies and misdemeanors, and the $64,000.00 plus question may be: Why?
Jonathan Blair Nelson, 40, was apprehended on Friday, March 6 at approximately 9:30 p.m. by Inglewood police officers. He was picked up at the intersection of Glenway Drive and Kew Street in Inglewood’s District 2—just blocks from the alleged “domicile” of convicted felon and ex-Senator Rod Wright.
The professional consultant, whom police records state is from Blufton, South Carolina, was charged with two felonies, five misdemeanors and one infraction.
The listed felonies were for carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle (25400(A)1PC) and carrying a loaded firearm in a public place (25850(A)PC). The misdemeanors were driving with a suspended license (14601.1AVC), having objects on a vehicle’s windshield (26708(A)(1)VC), possession of more than 28.5 grams of marijuana (11357(B)HS), possession of a large capacity magazine of firearms ammunition (32310PC) and the municipal code that declares outside obstruction prohibited regarding fire and/or emergency access (INMC 6-2.5). The infraction cited was for not having front or rear license plates on a vehicle (5200(A)VC).
Total bail was set at $76,395. Even for southern California standards, it’s a great amount; for South Carolina, it may be a few years worth of standard wages.
