A Twentynine Palms man was arrested Thursday, accused of carrying a concealed dirk or dagger. A deputy stopped Jeremy Stevens, 33, about 9:40 p.m. near Valley View Street and Plaza Road in Joshua Tree. Stevens allegedly told the deputy that he had a fixed-blade knife in his backpack. The deputy found the knife—as well as a shotgun shell—during a search of the backpack. Since Stevens is a convicted felon, he is prohibited from possessing both items. Jeremy Stevens was arrested for investigation of being in possession of a concealed dirk or dagger, and for being a felon in possession of ammunition, and was booked into the Morongo Basin Jail with his bail set at $35,000.
