A convicted felon was caught with a stun gun in his possession after a traffic stop for speeding.
Antony Newton Brock, 41, of Ocala, was at the wheel of a black 2012 Chevrolet Impala shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday when he was caught on radar traveling at 62 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone on State Road 471 at Webster, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
