EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - Evansville police arrested several people overnight, suspected of being involved in gang activity.
They were stopped on Adams Avenue, near Washington Avenue and Highway 41.
Evansville police say they found a car matching the description of the one involved in a recent shooting.
After keeping a close eye on it, they eventually approached the four men inside and all of them are now sitting in the Vanderburgh County jail facing a list of charges.
Police arrested 19-year-old Gerivonnie Lewis, 18-year-old Marquell Lockridge, 22-year-old Jerome Height, and 23-year-old Dontrell Franklin.
All 4 of them were arrested for possession of drugs, but on the jail website, Franklin has the longest list of charges. He is also facing charges of possession of a gun by a felon and resisting arrest.
An EPD sergeant told us officers used a stun gun on Franklin because he would not follow orders.
