The Terrell Police Department said officers stopped a U-Haul truck around 1 a.m. on Sunday for a traffic violation.
During the stop, the driver, identified as 47-year-old Wesley Chapel, told officers he was a convicted felon and admitted he had a firearm and multiple THC vape pens inside the vehicle, police said.
