BROOKLYN, MD — A 36-year-old man was arrested early Friday after fleeing from police during a drug investigation in Brooklyn, authorities said.
At about 4:15 a.m. on July 25, an officer located a vehicle in the 700 block of Church Street that had previously fled a traffic stop the day before. As the officer approached, the driver emerged from a store and ran, prompting a foot chase that ended in the 4700 block of Virginia Avenue.
Police say the suspect, identified as Brandon Marquise Shields of Baltimore, discarded evidence while fleeing. Officers recovered approximately 74 grams of suspected crack cocaine, 46 Suboxone strips, eight glass smoking devices, and 99 red pop-top containers.
Shields was arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
