A Fayette County man faces numerous charges after allegedly fleeing from police while carrying methamphetamine Wednesday morning.
Police say they were able to find Jackie Lee Danbury, 35, of Cannelton, with the help of a bloodhound.
Montgomery and Smithers police tried to stop Danbury, who was driving a silver Ford F-150, at about 4 a.m. for minor traffic violations, according to a news release from the Fayette Sheriff's Office.
Danbury allegedly sped up and fled south on W.Va. 61 "in an extremely reckless and aggressive manner."
He allegedly continued onto Boonesboro Road near the Kanawha Falls area, where he abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot, according to the release.
Because it was difficult to see and the terrain was difficult to traverse, police called for Fayette sheriff's Sgt. Shannon Morris and his bloodhound, Dixie.
Dixie led the officers through a long stretch of brush and directed them to a package of several prescription pills and a "substantial quantity" of methamphetamine, the release says.
She also directed them toward a backpack lying in the brush near the bank of the Kanawha River. Police say Danbury had concealed himself in mud and was covering his head with the backpack.
He was taken into custody following a brief struggle.
Police say he will face charges of driving left of center, littering, fleeing in a vehicle with reckless disregard for the safety of others, fleeing on foot, obstructing an officer, battery on a police officer and possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.
"You can run, and you can hide, but if Dixie gets on your trail, you're going to get caught," Fayette Sheriff Steve Kessler said in the release.
