Suspect with marijuana leads police on 15-mph chase

2 a.m. — South Volusia Avenue at East Ohio Avenue

Fleeing and eluding law enforcement, no value driver's license, marijuana possession. A police officer on road patrol noticed that a silver car heading in the same direction as the officer seemed to be trying to avoid passing the officer's car. 

When both vehicles stopped at a light, the officer checked the car's tag number and found that it had expired last October. The officer tried to conduct a traffic stop on the car, but it kept driving — at 15 mph.

At first, the officer thought the driver was just looking for a place to pull over, but the car continued on and on, then started to speed up until other officers cut it off from the other direction. 

Officers detained five people from the car, and found that the 22-year-old driver had marijuana in his pocket, and no driver's license. He was arrested.

 

Fleeing suspect tosses drugs into random person's open car window

1:12 p.m. —800 block of South Spring Garden Avenue

Fleeing and eluding law enforcement, possession of narcotics. A deputy saw a man on a red bicycle leave a food store and cycle out into the middle of the road, into traffic.

The deputy tried to conduct a traffic stop on the bike, but the cyclist fled, then dropped the bike and ran. 

As the man fled, deputies saw him "throwing/discarding unknown items into an unrelated civilian's vehicle, who had the passenger window down," according to the man's arrest report.

Deputies caught him and retrieved the items, which turned out to be plastic baggies of marijuana.

When they searched him, he also had narcotic pills on him. Deputies arrested him.
