Davin Ja’Lon McConnell, 20, of Rome, was arrested in Cedartown this week after reports said he fled from officers who were conducting a traffic stop.
Reports said that McConnell ran from a car being driven by Kaziyia Foster, 20 of Henderson, North Carolina following the stop on East Jule Peek Drive.
Police stated that the traffic stop was conducted because of a broken headlight. The stop was initially done on North Main at Hillside Drive, but rolled to a stop and tried to take off again on East Jule Peek Drive.
It was here McConnell jumped from the car and ran. He was captured after a brief foot chase.
A search of McConnell led police to recover suspected marijuana, 46 THC cartridges, containers of THC wax, suspected crack cocaine, a prescription bottle with no label containing pills later identified as oxycodone, an electronic scale, $4,965 in cash, and $7,150 in counterfeit bills.
Police also found a Glock 41 pistol chambered in .45 caliber on McConnell.
Foster was found to have been driving without any valid license and she was taken into custody as well.
McConnell is charged with possession of a schedule I controlled substance, possession with intent to distribute, possession of a schedule II controlled substance, possession of tools for commission of a crime, possession of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine, sale of cocaine and a misdemeanor for obstruction of law enforcement officers.
Foster is charged with headlight requirements and driving without a valid license.
