Small Town Misfit

Morgan County, GA
On March 30 Clindray Harris, 27, Rutledge, was arrested and charged with felony obstruction of police officers, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana, less than an ounce after he allegedly fled from police after officers stopped to check on a stranded motorist. According to reports, officers stopped to check on a Dodge Neon that was not moving at the intersection of Atlanta Highway and Madison Fields Drive.

After the stop they attempted to handcuff the driver of the Neon for an open container violation when Harris, a passenger in the Neon, allegedly opened the door of the Neon and fled into a field across the road from the traffic stop. Reports state that two officers chased Harris. Harris allegedly jumped over a fence and lost his pants and shoes. He was then tackled by a deputy, reports state, but was able to break free and run again towards a wooded area.

Harris stopped and, reports state, officers ordered him to the ground. Harris indicated he was going to run again and an officer deployed his Taser weapon into Harris’ back. After a five second burst, reports state, Harris fell to the ground, but got up and ran again. The officer deployed another five second burst and Harris fell again but got up again and attempted to run. The officer deployed another burst and Harris broke the wires connecting the prongs to the Taser. Another deputy deployed his Taser and during the first cycle Harris allegedly broke the wires. The first deputy then allegedly deployed his Taser again and during the second burst Harris broke the wires again. The deputy was then able to grab his arm and wrestled Harris to the ground. During the fight another deputy again deployed a Taser to Harris with no effect, reports state. A deputy was able to secure one handcuff on Harris but he again rose to the ground to flee. The deputy then applied pepper spray to Harris, reports state, and was able to secure a second handcuff on Harris.

Officers reported finding a small bag of marijuana near Harris’ pants and suspected cocaine near the scene of the struggle. The driver of the Neon, Gary Bernard Robinson, 40, Madison, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor obstruction of officers and an open container violation. Robinson allegedly ran into the woods during the chase.

Don’t smoke pot in front of a building under investigation for illegal drug activities. On June 18, while police were conducting an undercover surveillance mission of a Colleton Street apartment building, an officer noticed two people apparently smoking marijuana, toking on a joint in plain view of the public. A third person was hanging out with the bud smokers but not indulging in the Mary Jane.

The cops approached and said they were investigating illegal drug activity. The smokers then called one of the officers by name and said, “We aren’t selling drugs. Now we are smoking weed, we are not going to lie about that but that’s all we are doing.” The police attempted to locate the joint but had no luck and questioned the three about it. Perhaps victims of pot smokers’ memory loss, they told the police they did not recall what happened to it. All three were arrested and charged with loitering for narcotics.
