Davis has a previous conviction for maiming from 1993 in Hampton, Va. As a result of that conviction, he was forbidden to own or carry a weapon, which resulted in an additional certain person indictment in the second degree.

Va., and George Blum, 26, of Budd Lake, were stopped by police.  The two allegedly resisted arrest, assaulted officers, and threw bodily fluids.

Brian Thompson, George Thompson
Brothers Brian Thompson, 29, and George Thompson, 34, both of Whitesboro, were indicted on a number of weapons charges in Middle Township.
Brian, who had been convicted in 2004 for distribution of controlled dangerous substance, allegedly possessed a RG .38 special revolver without a permit and an AR 15 assault rifle. Along with third degree possession charges, he faces a certain person charge since his previous conviction barred him from possessing guns.
George allegedly possessed a .45 Colt 1911 handgun without a permit. His conviction in 2003 for distribution of a controlled dangerous substance also led to a certain person charge.
Both men were also charged with possession of hollow point bullets.
Charges resulted from a shooting incident Aug. 9 when police responded to a report of gunshots at about 3 a.m.
At that time Brian Thompson was arrested.  Subsequent search and investigation led to charges against George Thompson. 
The individuals are only charged with the offenses and are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
