Patrolling the three-way intersection of Forest Park and Millcreek drives, an officer observed a red Dodge Charger turn onto Forest Park without stopping at the sign, and attempted a traffic stop. The SUV turned onto Village Drive, where the passenger door opened and a male exited the vehicle and fled on foot into a wooded area toward 1008 Village Dr. The vehicle continued another 1,000 feet before coming to a stop. The driver, Donald Haynie, 27, of Gurdon, was ordered out of the vehicle and detained. A whiff of marijuana gave the officer reason to search the vehicle. Though no marijuana was located, a keychain was seized as evidence; Haynie said it didn’t belong to him and that he didn’t know the name of his passenger, whom he claimed to have picked up on the side of the road. Haynie, who did not possess a driver license, was cited for failure to obey a stop sign, no liability insurance and driving without a license. Officers allowed a friend to transport him home while the vehicle remained on scene. A tracking K9 unit was deployed to locate the fleeing passenger, but soon lost scent before the search was called off.
