By Tracie Sullivan for Iron County for Iron County today

A man from Cedar City, who is already on probation on the probation of the federal government, is suspended in front of a number of new crimes after the authorities have discovered drugs, weapons and ammunition in his possession during two separate arrests within days.

The 49 -year -old Jeremiah Nathan Cameron was taken into custody on February 2 after the deputy of a sheriff of Iron County had put it on because of a traffic violation.

According to court documents, Cameron drove with a broken rear light, a blocked license plate and a faulty brake light when the officials on the Midvalley Road stopped him.

After the contact, the MPs observed an open alcohol container in the vehicle and found that Cameron seemed to be affected. He supposedly admitted to having a suspended driver's license, and it was also found that he was an alcohol -limited driver with an ignition lock request.

A search for the vehicle discovered a large bag with alleged marijuana, methamphetamine, needles, roller papers and eight knives with solid leaves of different sizes, according to the affidavit. Cameron was arrested and when he searched him before he was instructed to the Iron County's prison, the officials reported a live -9mm round in his pants. The MPs also found 311 US dollars in Bar Cameron.

Court documents show that the authorities had previously received information that the Cameron imply in the drug distribution. In view of the amount of alleged marijuana, drug utensils and cash, the investigators claimed that Cameron was in possession of the medication to distribute.

Cameron was booked into prison for several charges, including the possession of the second degree crime with the intention of a controlled substance, the possession of a dangerous weapon by a limited person who is to distribute under the influence and possession of drug utensils.

The following day, when Cameron was in custody, he led a number of telephone calls that prompted the authorities to secure search command for a warehouse unit and a GMC denali of the suspect. According to the affidavit, which was submitted before the 5th district court to increase his indictment, Cameron had repeated calls to remove someone from his unit as soon as possible.

“During the prison's phone calls, Jeremiah said several times that the firearm was in the vehicle before it located it, and showed that he had knowledge that it was there,” said court documents.

When searching the vehicle, the investigators reported a 9 -mm gun between the driver's seat and the center console. A second search order for Cameron's warehouse unit led to the discovery of several knives, including a large blade in an ulcer style and drug utensils with residues.

The authorities found in the affidavit that Cameron is a “10 times convicted criminal” with violent crimes. They also referred earlier threats, which he allegedly came across “shooting with the law enforcement authorities”.

Due to the criminal history of Cameron and its continuous probation of the federal government, the possessions of the weapons led to additional weapon accusations. The officials also asked that he was held for the deposit without the opportunity.

His next court appearance is planned on March 11th.
