Within 90 seconds, as seen in body-worn camera footage shared with the I-Team, Deshaun Carpenter was detained and officers began searching his vehicle from top to bottom.Carpenter, who has a felony record, was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm. He claimed he had borrowed the vehicle from his girlfriend's friend and had no knowledge of the gun under the driver's seat.
