Jones remove it from his pocket and placed it on the trunk of his car. Inside of the plastic bag, the deputy observed a clear rock like substance inside of another bag. As the deputy attempted to detain
Mr. Jones, he pulled away and grabbed the bag and took off running on foot.
Jones then threw the bag into the woods and after several verbal commands to stop were ignored, he was tasered in the back by Cpl. Brett Morris and detained.
