On October 17, 2018 in the early hours of the morning, police observed a man known to them who had an outstanding warrant. He immediately began to evade them on his bike but the police chased him down and took him into custody.

A search of the suspect resulted in the seizure of approximately 5.3 grams of methamphetamine (with an estimated street value of $530).
