Cannon County Sheriff's Detective Matt Goney observed a brown GMC traveling westbound on Willard Road on Dec. 18. As he got behind the truck, Det. Goney observed both occupants acting in a nervous manner.

As Det. Goney began to activate his emergency equipment, the driver turned into a farm on the left side of the road. The farm is located where Willard Road turns into Bridge Road in Auburntown.

The passenger jumped out of the truck as if he were going to approach Det. Goney’s patrol unit, then took off running and jumped a fence leading to the pasture of the property. Det. Goney informed the passenger to stop several times, but the male subject failed to obey while continuing to run and shouting vulgar statements.

Det. Goney caught up with him and he was apprehended without incident. While walking the subject to his patrol unit, Det. Goney observed him to be extremely intoxicated on some type of stimulant.

Upon further investigation, items consisting of drug paraphernalia, pseudoephedrine powder, pseudoephedrine pills and finished product methamphetamine were located. Both individuals had the odor of cooking methamphetamine.
