Police discovered a revolver, drugs and paraphernalia inside a small safe alongside Cummings' Social Security card, an arrest affidavit said. He told officers he found the gun seven months ago at a nearby cemetery.

Cummings was released from the Brevard County Jail Complex Saturday on $9,500 bond. A court date has not been set.
