According to the report, a vehicle search was then conducted and a loaded .38 caliber Ruger Revolver was found in the back of the vehicle with 20-year-old Quandre Winder, of Laurel. While detaining all of the occupants of the vehicle, law enforcement says Winder fled on foot. The 20-year-old was apparently caught after a brief foot pursuit and brief struggle with police. While attempting to place Winder into handcuffs, Laurel PD says he continued to resist officer's arrest and he was tased to gain compliance. 

Winder was taken into custody and taken to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released. Police report that the gun that was in Winder's possession was discovered to be stolen. 

The 20-year-old was charged with possession of a firearm by person prohibited, possession of ammunition by person prohibited, receiving a stolen firearm, resisting arrest and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.

He was then turned over to Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of a $15,000 secured bond.
