A 26-YEAR-old Beloit man faces gun and drug charges after being stopped in Janesville for driving without tail lights.

Janesville Police say an officer stopped a vehicle driven by Marquise J. Vance for an equipment violation just after 1:00 Saturday morning at Racine and Chestnut Streets.

After a K-9 was requested to help search the vehicle, Vance fled on foot. He made it a short distance before being apprehended by the dog. During the arrest, officers say Vance attempted to bite a cop.

A search of the vehicle turned up fentanyl, prescription pills, a large amount of cash, and two loaded guns.

Vance was arrested on suspicion of battery to law enforcement, resisting, possession with intent to deliver fentanyl, possession of narcotics, being a felon in possession of a firearm, a probation violation, and causing harm to police.
