The driver of the vehicle later identified as Keilon Howard failed to stop and led police in a vehicle pursuit. During the pursuit, Howard committed a series of traffic violations, while driving erratic. The pursuit led officers out the City Limits on Forty Arpent Road, but not before the driver threw two packages out the window, totaling a weight of 2.4 pounds of suspected marijuana.
Howard later stopped the vehicle and was taken into custody without incident. Howard advised police that he did not stop, due to him being “High on Mojo”. Mojo is better known as Synthetic Marijuana.
