A 23-year-old Gainesville man was arrested in Flagler County after he fled from a traffic stop in Bunnell, crashed into a ditch and tried to hide himself in a pond.
FCSO deputies found the suspect on Aug. 22 with helicopter assistance, according to an FCSO news release.
They caught him nearly five hours after a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy tried to pull him over for a suspended license.
The suspect is facing charges of fleeing and eluding and cocaine possession.
Deputies found 2.56 grams of cocaine in a plastic bag that fell out of his wrecked black Chevrolet as it was being towed away, according to the news release.
