The >> Eric James Stallings was charged with trafficking in methamphetamine while armed, trafficking in cocaine, trafficking in heroin, possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, and resisting arrest with violence. St. Petersburg police said he knocked an officer down while trying to get away and that the officer was injured. He has not been convicted of any of it. Those charges are allegations and he is presumed innocent. Two things did happen and both are on the record. 3 days later on October 17th, the St. Petersburg Police Department filed to take the Rolls-Royce. The finance company that held the loan on it was named in the case alongside him. 4 days after that, the Penllis County Sheriff's Office petitioned to take his guns under Florida's red flag law. On November 3rd, a judge signed a final risk protection order. He agreed to it and waved the hearing. He told an officer that morning that he was legal. Within three weeks, he had no car and no guns.
