A firearm reported stolen and drugs found in a vehicle are among the evidence Moore police cited after Robert Lee, 29, was arrested following a pursuit and hotel search, News 9 reported. Lee faces allegations including knowingly concealing stolen property, possessing a firearm after a felony conviction, possessing a controlled dangerous substance and obstruction; the reported charges are allegations, not findings of guilt.
According to News 9, officers said the incident began with a traffic stop near Northwest 27th Street and Janeway Avenue. Police reported that Lee drove away, crashed near Vermeer after officers pursued him, and ran from the vehicle. Authorities said they recovered marijuana, cocaine and a firearm reported stolen from Oklahoma City. A tip led officers to Candlewood Suites, where they found Lee; he ran down a hallway before officers took him into custody, the station reported.
A separate Oklahoma pursuit
The crash in Moore has one limited point of comparison in the available reporting: KFOR reported that a pursuit involving Oklahoma County deputies ended in a crash on Aug. 6, 2021. That was a different incident involving different officers. The two reports show only that both pursuits ended in crashes; they do not establish a broader trend or explain the circumstances of the Moore case.
News 9’s report did not provide bond information, court dates or a final case disposition. It also did not give further details about the recovered firearm or the quantities of drugs.
