Daniel Dunn was passed out when a deputy arrived, but the officer finally shook him awake. When a drug dog alerted on his pickup, he decided to make a run for it. |
A road patrol deputy arrested a Florida man after he fled from his pickup Saturday at 2 a.m. After his capture, deputies found 242 grams of marijuana, Xanax, and “other drug related items” in the truck.
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputy responded to a report of a man slumped over the steering wheel in a pickup in Port Charlotte, Fla., reports
WINK News. Upon arrival, the deputy shook the sleeping Daniel Jacob Dunn, 21, 3740 Easy Street (perfect), until he finally woke up. A “strong odor of marijuana” was coming from the pickup, according to the deputy.
A K9 unit was called to search around the vehicle, and the dog alerted for the presence of drugs.
At that point, Dunn, apparently deciding to make a run for it, got out of the truck and fled, causing a foot chase. After making some pretty impressive evasive moves for someone who must have been Xanaxed to the max, Dunn was finally tackled by the officer a couple of blocks away.
