NORFOLK, Neb. -- A 35-year-old Colorado man is in custody after a traffic stop in Stanton County in northeast Nebraska.

Early Thursday morning, the Stanton County Sheriff's Office stopped a motorcycle just east of Norfolk on Highway 275 for speeding.

The operator, Dustin Williams, of Aurora, Colorado, was found to be in possession of a concealed weapon, according to Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger. Williams was also discovered to be a convicted felon.

Williams was taken into custody on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon. He was also found in possession of another U.S. citizen’s passport and numerous debit cards issued to other people, in addition to several blank vehicle titles that authorities said he could provide no explanation for.

Williams was booked in Stanton County on the felony charges and jailed pending the posting of a cash bond. He is also facing a probation violation charge out of Colorado as a result of the arrest
