Robertson's arrest stems from a felony traffic stop. Investigators said they found crack cocaine in a plastic container in Robertson's pants pocket.

Investigators said they also found a loaded .9 mm semi-automatic pistol in Robertson's car. Nine rounds of ammunition were seized with the weapon.

Robertson was booked into the Duval County jail.

The 20-year-old was released in March from the Florida State Prison system, where he served time for several felonies.
