Stoner leads cops on 2-mph car chase

7:20 p.m. — 300 block of Palm Coast Parkway NE, Palm Coast

Resisting an officer. A deputy on road patrol saw a car driving west on Palm Coast Parkway at 49 mph in a 40-mph zone. The deputy activated lights and sirens and pulled behind the speeding car. 

The car pulled into a gas station. But the driver, a 23-year-old man, kept driving through the parking lot — at 1-2 mph. 

The deputy was finally able to get the driver to stop. The deputy asked the driver to get out of the car, but the driver refused, and deputies pulled him out.

The car smelled of marijuana, and deputies found a cannabis roach in the ash tray. Deputies arrested the driver.

Marijuana possession. A Bunnell police officer on road patrol noticed that a man driving an SUV wasn't wearing his seatbelt. 

The officer conducted a traffic stop on the SUV, and told the 20-year-old driver the reason for the stop.

The driver apologized for not wearing his seatbelt. When the officer asked the driver if there was any marijuana in the car, the driver said there was some, and handed over about 2 grams worth of cannabis.

Officers searched the car and found 300 grams. They arrested the driver.
