SALISBURY – A man was pulled over after allegedly traveling at 96 mph on I-85 on Wednesday and tossing something out of the vehicle’s window.

When a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office deputy approached Voderick Delain Springs, 27, of Charlotte, the man denied throwing anything out and told the officer he “open carries.”

Openly carrying a weapon is legal in North Carolina in areas where weapons are not prohibited in general, but the officer allegedly found a Glock handgun concealed in the Nissan Maxima when it was searched. Springs also had a previous misdemeanor charge for carrying a concealed weapon.

Officers were not able to find what was thrown out. The arresting officer described it as small and white in color. The officer observed a “strong odor of raw marijuana,” according to the incident report.

Springs was charged with felony carrying a concealed gun, transported to Rowan County Detention Center and held under a $2,000 bond.
