A Manchester man was arrested April 3 following a disturbance the day before at Taco Bell.
The arrest was made by Manchester Officer Brandon Tomberlin when he made contact with the subject after he observed a vehicle that the man was a passenger in.
Officer Tomberlin stopped the vehicle and spoke with passenger Herman Lee Williams Jr., 45, of Forrestwood Drive, Manchester who was allegedly involved in the dispute.
The arrest warrant says that when the officer started to search Williams, he felt an object in the man’s pocket. When the officer asked Williams what was in his pocket, he took off running.
Officers caught him and he allegedly told them that he had a syringe in his shirt that contained methamphetamines. Officers the tested the material in the syringe and found that it tested positive for meth.
According to a warrant obtained by the officer, Williams then admitted that he had thrown a baggie containing a small amount of methamphetamines away in an attempt to conceal from officers what had been in his pocket.
Williams was charged with a schedule II drug violation, evading arrest and aggravated assault. Bond was set at $22,500.
