Police: Man had gun in pocket

The handle of the gun was protruding from his pants, Nassau County police said.

Now, Jarrot Jones, 21, of Matthews, N.C., is under arrest, charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon -- and is facing arraignment Thursday in First District Court in Hempstead.

Police said Jones was arrested in Inwood on Wednesday at 3:41 p.m. after officers saw him getting into a vehicle on Merril Street and saw the handle of a gun sticking out of a front pants pocket. Officers arrested Jones for possession of the gun and discovered the serial number had been removed.
