A deputy observed a brown Impala with a tail light out, traveling on the wrong side of the road and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The driver continued and pulled the vehicle into the yard of a residence.
The subject then exited the vehicle and ran into the woods. The deputy gave foot chase and when he found the subject, he was lying face down on the floor with his hands tucked under his chest. The subject was then handcuffed and a search of the vehicle revealed a small container that tested positive for cocaine and marijuana.
The surveillance tape on the deputy’s patrol car showed the driver pouring out a bottle of beer. The suspect was arrested and transported to Liberty County Jail.
