Traffic Stop on I-20 Leads to Arrest of Four Men, Seizure of Six Firearms, Three with Machine Gun Conversions

On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Haralson County Deputy Michael Manson conducted a traffic stop on a white Dodge Charger with illegally tinted windows along Interstate 20. The stop, part of the Crime Suppression Operational Interstate Task Force initiative, led to the arrest of four individuals and the recovery of six firearms, including three modified with illegal machine conversion devices (MCDs).

Deputy Manson, detecting the odor of marijuana upon approaching the vehicle, asked the driver for identification. The driver admitted he did not possess a license. Deputy Chad Sheriff arrived to assist, and the occupants were asked to exit the vehicle. During the process, deputies noticed one of the passengers moving items inside the car.

A probable cause search of the vehicle revealed six firearms. Three of the weapons were equipped with illegal switches (MCDs), and one was confirmed stolen out of Tennessee via the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC). All four male occupants were taken into custody and booked at the Haralson County Detention Center.
