Most people don’t realize it, but being on the road can be a crazy experience. This is because some drivers out there can’t keep themselves on the straight and narrow. Recently, one Florida man tried to evade a traffic stop for the second time in a matter of weeks. On top of that, police officers learned that he happened to have narcotics in the vehicle.

Attempting to evade a traffic stop is among the worst things a driver can do

According to WKRN, Tennessee police officers spotted a Dodge Charger with Alabama plates on November 15. After seeing the vehicle, they had reason to believe it was the same one that sped off from them previously. Naturally, they attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the driver. This prompted the person behind the wheel to try to get away as he had done previously. 

Of course, technology comes in handy for police officers when drivers try to evade their traffic stop. Thankfully, a Metro Nashville Police Department helicopter was able to track the vehicle as it fled. At times, the Dodge sedan reached 100 miles per hour, almost double the speed limit. The police officers even chased the car up a hill before it finally came to a stop. They learned that the driver was Brian Hamilton, 20. 

Unfortunately, things didn’t improve with Brian after they were able to conduct the traffic stop. After exiting the vehicle, he began yelling at the police. They also noticed “an apparent odor of marijuana” coming from the Dodge Charger. After searching, they found 119 grams of the drug, multiple bags, and a scale. This means he was more than likely selling drugs. He was charged with possession with intent of a Schedule VI drug, unlawful use of paraphernalia, and evading arrest in a motor vehicle. He was released from jail the following day.
