FERRIS – A routine traffic
stop turned into a short-lived get-away.
Angel
LaShell Jones of Arlington was pulled over on a traffic stop on Interstate
Highway 45 April 29, but when FPD Officer LaRell Tolbert started questioning
about her speed, Jones pulled off.
“A
short pursuit ensued,” stated a FPD press release issued May 6. “The suspect
exited toward Beltline Road in Wilmer. She attempted to drive her vehicle
across a field at that location, but became stuck in the mud. Officers took the
female into custody for evading detention. During a subsequent investigation
and search, the officers discovered $1,200 in currency, more than 360 pills of
suspected Ecstasy, and 22 pills of Xanax. The officers also discovered $280 in
counterfeit bills. Jones was additionally charged with possession of controlled
substance.”
The
counterfeit bills, according to the FPD, will be turned over to the U.S. Secret
Service for their investigation.
