JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. (TRIBUNE) – A Birmingham man was arrested last Wednesday after leading police in a vehicle pursuit through Pinson, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Javon Everson, 30, has been charged with drug trafficking, attempting to elude a police officer, unlawful possession of a machine gun conversion device, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and tampering with physical evidence.

He is in the custody of the Jefferson County Jail with a total bond of $1,567,000.

According to JCSO, narcotics detectives and the Sheriff’s Neighborhood Enforcement Team attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Everson near the intersection of Goodwin Road and Flagstone Street in the Pinson area.

He reportedly refused to stop and led detectives and SNET on a brief pursuit that ended when he drove his vehicle into a ravine near the intersection of Wood Drive and Sweeney Hollow Road.

Everson then reportedly fled on foot before being quickly apprehended.

During a search, detectives reportedly seized 13.8 grams of fentanyl, 3 grams of crack cocaine, an Anderson Manufacturing AR-15 .300 Blackout with auto sear, an American Tactical AR-15 .556 cal., two Glock Model 19 9mm, and a Palmetto State 9mm handgun.

They also seized digital scales, packaging material, ammunition, weapon magazines, and $3,404.

“This was a successful operation run by our team in which dangerous drugs and weapons were taken off the streets of Jefferson County,” Sheriff Mark Pettway stated. “Keeping the citizens of Jefferson County safe is my number one priority.”
