Man caught with pot after fleeing police

A routine traffic stop on Stratton Court in Southeast Ann Arbor turned into an arrest Friday afternoon for the Ann Arbor Police Department.

AAPD reports state that two vehicles were blocking traffic near the court. After the AAPD officer flashed their lights, one of the vehicles, a Montecarlo, drove away.

Officers pulled the Montecarlo over and asked the driver for his license. The driver did not have a driver's license, and the officer told him he was under arrest for driving without a driver's license.

Reports state the subject then attempted to grab an object from underneath the seat. The officer told the subject to get out of the Montecarlo.

The subject exited the vehicle and attempted to flee the scene. Another officer tackled the man after he ran five or six steps.

Once handcuffed, officers noticed a plastic bag, filled with 47.5 grams of marijuana, in the subject's hand.

Inside the vehicle, officers found a scale used for weighing marijuana, small zip-lock bags and a bottle containing an alcoholic beverage.

The subject was charged with driving without a driver's license, having an open alcohol container in a vehicle, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and resisting and obstructing the police.

A pizza delivery man called the Department of Public Safety on Thursday night to report suspected child abuse.

While delivering pizza to a Northwood V apartment, the delivery man heard the resident to whom he was delivering the pizza yell at his children. The delivery man said he was concerned for the children's safety, DPS reports state.

When DPS officers arrived at the residence, they discovered the parent was yelling at the children because they did not want to go to sleep.

No charges were filed.

A man was yelling at people on the Diag on Saturday morning, according to DPS reports.

The man, who was wearing a white T-shirt, blue shorts and blue panty hose, was screaming and swearing at people as they walked though the Diag, reports state.

The man also was tearing down signs posted near the Diag.

DPS did not arrest the man.

A man was charged with drunken driving Friday night while driving on Scio Church Road, according to AAPD reports.

An AAPD officer saw the driver speeding and changing lanes without signaling, according to the report.

The officer pulled the subject over and administered a number of sobriety tests. The man failed to touch his toes, close his eyes and recite the alphabet, as the officers instructed.

A breathalyzer test showed his blood alcohol level was .20.

The subject said he was incoherent because he was taking Tylenol III for his toothache.

Officers found a 90 percent empty vodka bottle under the seat.

The man had a prior conviction of operating machinery while under the influence of alcohol.
