Responding deputies made contact with the two and both subjects reported they were okay.

A weapon was found in the vehicle, but without ammunition, and a routine background check revealed no criminal history on either, so deputies released the two to continue their trip.

No additional contact was made with the pair until Nall was seen Saturday morning at the gas station.
