speeding and carrying a firearm without a permit.

Sensabaugh, 23, was pulled over at 12:06 a.m. after an officer
spotted his 2006 BMW driving 86 mph in a 55 mph zone, police Sgt.
David Moore said.

When asked if he had any weapons in the car, Sensabaugh told the
officer he had a pistol, but did not have a permit to carry it. The
officer found a loaded 9mm pistol in the console along with another
fully loaded clip.

Sensabaugh was booked into Kingsport City Jail on the charges,
both misdemeanors, and was released about 2:30 a.m. after posting a
$750 bond.

Under Tennessee law, driving faster than 75 mph in a 55-mph zone
can be prosecuted as misdemeanor reckless driving, although the
charge is at the discretion of prosecutors.

Sensabaugh lives in Kingsport during the offseason. He played at
East Tennessee State in nearby Johnson City before transferring to
North Carolina.

He was drafted by the Jaguars in the fifth round in 2005 and
went from special teams to starting strong safety. In his two
seasons he has 56 solo tackles, 12 assists, two interceptions, two
fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and blocked punt.

His agent, Kevin Connor of Atlanta, did not return a message
seeking comment Monday night.
