The Waynesboro Police Department made two arrests from a Thursday traffic stop.
Officers were contacted by an anonymous caller who advised they had observed 31-year-old Waynesboro resident Brandon Lamont Carter driving a vehicle in the 900 block of Hopeman Parkway, and police were aware there was an active warrant for his arrest.
Officers performed a traffic stop on the vehicle that Carter was driving and arrested him for a warrant that had been issued for misdemeanor assault and battery.
During the arrest of Carter, officers recognized 29-year-old Chiejio Ja’meze Davis in the passenger seat of the stopped vehicle. Davis was wanted on several outstanding warrants unrelated to Carter’s charge which included:

During the arrest of Davis, officers recovered a stolen Glock Model 23 pistol with two loaded magazines and a small container of suspected controlled substances. After the discovery by officers, Davis was charged with four additional felonies which include:
