A Jennings County man is facing a slew of drug-related charges after allegedly trying to flee from deputies trying to serve a warrant.
Jennings County deputies first tried to serve a warrant on Steven D. Fletcher of Campbell Township at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning, says Lt. Mike Mowery, spokesman with the sheriff’s department.
Although he wasn’t home, deputies waited in the area and saw a car that Fletcher was believed to be driving. When the car pulled into a driveway, deputies tried to talk to the driver, but instead the driver backed out and then raced away. Fletcher eventually tried to run away, before he was shocked by a Taser. A search of the car allegedly revealed methamphetamine, and drug components along with marijuana.
