* 11:15pm- Brownwood Police arrested a man Thursday for possession of marijuana after fleeing from an officer. A Brownwood Police officer stopped the suspect’s vehicle on the corner of 2nd Street and Avenue G after it ran a stop sign police reports state. The driver, identified as 30-year-old Jason Guerrero was getting out of the car, hesitated, and then fled on foot across a parking lot. Police said that the officer chased the suspect and was able to catch up with Guerrero when he lost his footing in the parking lot. The police report states that Guerrero did not obey the officer’s commands to lie flat on the ground, only got to his knees, and the officer then struck him in the chest with his knee causing him to fall backward. The officer then drew his taser and ordered Guerrero to roll onto his stomach in order to arrest him for evading arrest.
When asked why he ran, Guerrero told police that he had been drinking and didn’t have a driver’s license. He was arrested for Evading Arrest and DWI.
Upon review of the iCOP video, police said that Guerrero was observed carrying a white cup which was not in his possession when he was arrested; leading officers to believe that he had done something with it. In searching the area of the foot pursuit, the officer found a cup in the parking lot which contained a green and yellow bag which was later identified as a Pampers Swaddlers bag. Inside this bag was a small trash bag containing marijuana. The officer seized these items and contacted a narcotics investigator. The marijuana was taken to BPD to be weighed which totaled 15.5 oz. Charges of Possession of Marijuana greater than 4 oz, less than 5 lbs were added to his arrest. The area of the foot pursuit was rechecked and nothing further was found.
