Driver arrested on narcotics charge

HERALD STAFF REPORT

January 25, 2010 09:52 AM

MANATEE -- A driver slumped over his steering wheel with the motor of his vehicle still running captured the attention of Manatee County Sheriff's deputies at 4:24 a.m. today.

When deputies approached the car, parked in the 5900 block of 55th Drive East, they saw a narcotics pipe in the driver's lap, a baggie containing a rocky substance and an open pocket knife on the passenger seat, according to a report from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

Before waking the man, a deputy entered the car and removed the knife. The man was then awakened and ordered to shut off the engine and get out of the car. When he exited the vehicle, he threw the pipe and a cigarette pack toward a wetland area.

A deputy attempted to restrain the driver when he threw the items. As the man resisted the deputy, her partner used a stun gun to subdue him.
