Shortly after 9 p.m on Thursday, a police officer pursued a 34-year-old African American man on a moped for speeding and driving without regard for pedestrians or other traffic. After following him around a corner, the officer found that the moped had stalled. The driver informed the officer that he did not have an ID, and the officer confirmed that he was wanted for probation violation. During the following search, the officer found three small plastic bags containing what the driver confirmed to be cocaine and marijuana.

The driver was taken to the hospital and put under arrest for driving under the influence.
