The officer looked up the address and found that the suspect, Charles Pomroy II, also lived with the man. Pomroy had a warrant out for his arrest in Hewitt for possession of a controlled substance.
The officer attempted to catch up to the vehicle and saw that the vehicle parked in the 1800 block of South 15th Street and several people exited.
