A Sulphur Rock man faces numerous charges after authorities allege he fled from a sheriff’s deputy during an attempted traffic stop Saturday night.
According to the incident report, Deputy Zach Spohr spotted a motorcycle without a license plate driven by Donald D. Evans, 56, making an intersection turn without using a turn signal in Sulphur Rock. As Spohr got behind the motorcycle, the report said Evans accelerated, making many turns through the town before he pulled into a Main Street location.
Evans was ordered off the cycle and onto the ground as Spohr placed him into hand restraints. During a search, the report said Spohr discovered a baggie containing a “crystalline substance” that tested positive as methamphetamine on Evans.
Evans was placed on hold for the narcotics department. In addition to fleeing, Evans is facing seven other charges — one felony (possession of meth) and six misdemeanor charges, including fleeing.
