A Cumberland man is facing charges including possession of a handgun by a convicted felon after police allegedly found him in possession of the firearm.

David Ball, 36, was arrested on April, 5, by Cumberland City Police Officer Stewart.

According to the citation, Stewart observed a person laying on the ground next to an ATV near a restaurant at approximately 2:45 a.m. on April, 5. The officer recognized Ball, who he knew to be a convicted felon. Stewart noticed a silver revolver handgun with a black grip in Ball’s waistband. Before making contact with Ball, Stewart retreated and contacted another officer for backup. The officers then awakened Ball, and advised him to keep his hands away from the firearm. Stewart retrieved the handgun and took Ball into custody. The handgun was loaded at the time of the arrest.

Ball was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. He was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center.
