But as they pulled up to the residence, several subjects at the home ran away from them. The evaders detained, deputies soon found the reason for the escape attempt. Due to open sheds on the property, deputies saw the narcotic packages inside.

A thorough search of the property uncovered –
- a little over a quarter pound of methamphetamine;
- 25 ounces of processed marijuana;
