Gamble was charged with filing a false report, possession of a firearm, possession of a controlled substance, fleeing, defective equipment, driving on a suspended driver’s license, careless and prohibited driving and three counts of failure to stop at a stop sign. Some of the charges are a result of the traffic stop that he took off from.
