Hubbard has been in jail for four months with $100,00 bail – but recently a judge agreed to reduce it to $35,000. Hubbard’s high bail is attributable to prior convictions for drug possession, child endangerment, and obstruction.  The 28-year-old had only been out of jail for six weeks prior to his arrest on this gun charge.

A local prosecutor reportedly said just because he cannot use his hands “doesn’t mean necessarily that he can’t be guilty of a crime.”

Basically, this is possession implicit by the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident where the contraband at issue was discovered by police.  Constructive possession describes the ability to legally be in possession of an object without it being under your direct physical control.  For car-related constructive possession, the question usually becomes whether a person knew about the location of an item in the vehicle and had the ability to control it.  In Hubbard’s case, although the three other passengers have denied the gun belonged to Hubbard, he may have instructed one of the passengers to place the gun in the seat-back pocket where it was ultimately found.  Possession of a stolen weapon doesn’t require that prosecutors prove that Hubbard intended to use the weapon, even if he were able to do so.
