During a police chase Saturday night, a Williston man left behind a trail of crack cocaine, marijuana, a razor blade and a cellphone, police said.
Kebris T. Reynolds, 27, was charged with marijuana and cocaine possession with intent to sell and eluding a law enforcement officer, according to an arrest report. Reynolds was held at the Alachua County Jail on Sunday evening in lieu of a $60,000 bond.
While patrolling Northwest 16th Avenue at about 8 p.m. Saturday, Gainesville Police officer Daniel Beans saw Reynolds speeding in a white Pontiac. With roads still slick from rain earlier that day, Reynolds abruptly turned left without using his signal, causing the driver of the car behind him to slam on the brakes, according to the report.
Beans followed Reynolds north on Northwest Fourth Street and switched his lights and siren on, but Reynolds sped away. Reynolds ran a stop sign and turned left onto Northwest 19th Avenue, where he parked in a yard before running, according to police.
Beans chased after Reynolds. He caught him about one block west of where Reynolds parked his car and arrested him.
Beans found about 7.8 grams of marijuana in Reynolds’ pockets before searching the area. The officer uncovered about 15 more grams of marijuana and 13.6 grams of crack cocaine, according to police.
Beans also searched the Pontiac, which he said smelled like burned cannabis. In addition, Beans found “a large amount” of gold and silver jewelry. According to the report, Reynolds said it wasn’t his.
