Union City, Tenn.—A Union City man was arrested on drug and evading arrest charges after leading police on a chase through backyards and a field before ending in a ditch.
Harvey Dunlow, age 44, of College St., is in the Obion County Jail charged with possession of meth, possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, evading arrest and driving on a revoked license.
The incident began Saturday afternoon when police received a tip as to Dunlow’s location. Dunlow had active warrants on him.
When police arrived, they were told that Dunlow had taken off on foot across backyards on the north side of Norwood and police saw him running behind apartments along a tree line. Dunlow stopped and put his hands up and then took off running across Highland West through a bean field and across an open grass field, jumping into a ditch. Police told him to get out of the ditch and then helped him out.
When they patted him down, they found a hypodermic needle in a plastic bag and other belongings in his tennis shoes. At the jail, officers found a match box with a white rock inside aluminum foil in his shoe. The rock field tested positive for crack cocaine.
Officers then did an inventory of his truck and found another hypodermic needle with a red liquid inside. The liquid tested positive for meth.
