Cocaine possession

Nov. 12 – During a search at Miles Trailer Park for a man who was allegedly in a fight at Clyde’s, they saw someone begin driving out the rear of the park. They stopped the man and asked him for ID, and while waiting for him to get it out, noticed a bag of white powdery substance in his lap, the report said. When the man went to reach for the glove box to get out his ID, "he noticed this item still in his lap. I advised the driver to put the vehicle in park and he did not respond but attempted to place the baggie in his pocket," the deputy’s report said.

The deputy told the man to put the vehicle in park again, but instead of complying, he attempted to speed away. One officer discharged his taser and accidentally also tased the reporting deputy. The driver sped down the driveway with the tasered deputy caught in the window for about 10 feet, until the deputy got loose and went to his patrol car to pursue. "The vehicle crashed out at the intersection of Harry Hagan Road and the driveway," the report said. While the man continued to flee on foot, he left behind the baggie and his ID. The deputy tested the substance positively as cocaine, the report said. The evidence was collected and the man’s identity put in for a warrant. The deputy was unharmed, according to the report.

At least three rifles were missing, along with a Ducks Unlimited folding knife. Blood was found on the door area, right under the kitchen sink, and on the floor leading into the den. A detective was called and came out to investigate the scene.

All witnesses said they were present and helped break up the fight. The incident is reportedly one of many that have resulted from a family feud over a property settlement.

Nov. 13 – While searching for a man with a warrant, a deputy noticed a green Ford F-150 that kept speeding up and slowing down. When the vehicle did pass the deputy, it was apparent there was no tag light. When the deputy put on his siren, the vehicle did not speed up but allegedly refused to stop. When an unmarked patrol vehicle attempted to get around the suspect, the man tried to sideswipe him and then reportedly sped up and went through a stop sign. After speeding into Chatham County, the man began to flee on foot. A search of the general area couldn’t find him, but did find the passenger of the vehicle, who was standing and pointing in the direction the man fled. "The (passenger) gladly told us who was driving and why he had ran in the first place. (He) advised that they had just bought drugs from the area where I had first encountered them and (the offender) did not want to go back to jail so he ran instead," the deputy’s report said. The drugs that had allegedly been thrown from the truck could not be found. A warrant on the driver has been reported.
