Deputies instructed Seay to exit the vehicle, and due to his odd behavior, they placed him in handcuffs.

While speaking to the woman, deputies learned that Seay had a pistol in his waistband.

Deputies say Seay tried to run away but was captured immediately and they confiscated the handgun from his waistband.

Deputies also located a pistol without a serial number, along with ammunition, under the driver’s seat of the Yukon.

Deputies say Seay tried to flee a second time but was captured.
