DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — A Slocomb man is facing multiple charges after Houston County sheriff’s deputies said he led them on a chase through the Cloverdale neighborhood in Dothan on Tuesday.
Deputies attempted to stop a stolen motorcycle around Sept. 2, but the driver refused to pull over, according to the sheriff’s office. After a brief pursuit, the suspect lost control and crashed off the roadway.
The rider, identified as 52-year-old Bryon Carl Martin of Slocomb, was taken into custody without further incident. He was evaluated at Southeast Health before being booked into the Houston County Jail. Deputies said Martin was carrying about 16 grams of methamphetamine.
Martin is charged with first-degree receiving stolen property, unlawful possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, and attempting to elude law enforcement. Deputies said he also faces multiple counts of failure to appear, including charges of switched tag, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, third-degree receiving stolen property, and trafficking methamphetamine.
The sheriff’s office said Martin’s bond for a previous trafficking charge was revoked.
