A domestic disturbance turned into a drug and weapons bust in St. Albans.
Bike patrol officers saw a woman and a man arguing in the middle of Grant Avenue Friday night.
When they stopped to see what was going on, they say they found a loaded Smith and Wesson hidden in Jameson Edwards' waistband. He also allegedly had more than a dozen Xanax and Lortab pills.
Officers say Edwards did not have a permit for the gun.
Edwards was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possession of controlled substances.
