A man who allegedly tried to evade arrest by providing someone else's driver's license during a Jamestown traffic stop was taken into custody on a handful of charges. Officers with the Jamestown Police Department's Violent Crime Unit pulled over a vehicle driven by 36-year-old Brandon Anderson in the area of West 5th Street and Washington Street at about 2:45 PM Friday. Officers determined that Anderson gave a New York State driver's license that belonged to another male because he had an active warrant for his arrest out of Jamestown. Anderson was taken into custody, and a search revealed that he allegedly tried to hide a quantity of fentanyl in what police described as an "intimate" location while in the Jamestown City Jail. He was charged with 2nd-degree criminal impersonation, tampering with physical evidence, 7th-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, 3rd-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, and his outstanding warrant.
