Police say Nicholas Fuller can been seen in security video from Nov. 22 pulling a handgun from inside his jacket and showing it to someone outside the Goldline convenience store located at 1819 Highway 45 Bypass.

Police responded at around 1:45 a.m. to a shooting outside the store. A witness also seen in security video later identified Fuller to police, according to court papers.

Fuller was arrested Tuesday when U.S. Marshals and Jackson police executed a search warrant at an apartment in the 600 block of Old Humboldt Road.

Investigators say they found a 9 mm handgun beneath a dresser and within reach of Fuller at the time of his arrest.

Fuller is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is being held in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
