While bringing Goodson to a hospital, marijuana was found in his possession, and authorities came across a loaded 45-caliber handgun upon a search of the vehicle.
After Goodson and the other man, reportedly identified as Garret Evans, were released from the hospital, they were transferred into State Police custody.
