On January 19, 2021, at 7:48 p.m., a Norfolk Police officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in the 800 block of Glenn Street as the vehicle did not have a front license plate.  The officer had contact with the driver and a front seat passenger.  The passenger was identified as Roman A. Shank, 31, of Norfolk.  Shank had a backpack on the floorboard in front of his seat.  The officer saw part of a large knife handle sticking out of the backpack.  A check of Shank’s record showed that he was prohibited from possessing such a weapon.  The knife was recovered and measured seven inches from the tip to the base of the blade.   He was arrested for possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person.  In a subsequent search, officers recovered a baggie containing a white powdery residue from his pant pocket.  It tested positive for methamphetamine.  He was then also arrested for possession of a controlled substance.  He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
