A Liberty man whose car crashed into a tree while he was trying to outrun a deputy during a pursuit will be in court on a variety of charges next week.
49 year old David Dewayne Anderson of Deadmon Hollow Road was arrested July 19 for a 2nd offense of driving while license suspended; possession with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver methamphetamine; evading arrest in a vehicle and on foot; reckless endangerment; failure to appear; and three counts of probation violation. His bond totals $15,000 and his court date is August 8.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on July 19 a deputy spotted Anderson in a maroon Honda Passport and tried to pull him over on the Old Mill Hill Road. Anderson failed to stop even when the officer activated his blue lights and siren until he left the road in a curve and crashed into a tree. Before the wreck, Anderson had crossed in and out of both lanes and at one point came close to hitting an oncoming car. After the crash, Anderson bailed out of the car and tried to flee on foot down an embankment toward Dry Creek Road but the officer caught up with him.
During a search the deputy found in Anderson’s car a clear pipe which contained 0.19 grams of a clear crystal like substance believed to be methamphetamine. A check showed that Anderson’s driver license was suspended for failure to maintain proof of financial responsibility on July 14, 2016. He has one prior offense against him for driving while suspended on January 11, 2018. He was placed under arrest and brought to the jail.
