Narrative:
A traffic stop as a result of using a cell phone while driving, led to the arrest of two people on various drug charges. At approximately 2:09PM on Friday, November 11th, officers from the Street Crimes Unit stopped a black Pontiac G6 driven by Ashley Everett (32) with Keyatak Flowers (42) in the passenger seat for a traffic violation. During the officers contact with the driver and passenger, they detected the odor of marijuana. Flowers also provided a false name to the investigating officers. Officers then detained both subjects and found a spring assisted knife that was 3.5″ in length, a deadly weapon. As the officers were detaining both subjects, Flowers fled on foot. Officers attempted to stop Flowers by deploying a Taser. Flowers then fought the officers attempts to take him into custody, striking one officer, causing minor injuries.
