Paris Police Officers attempted to pull over a vehicle on Tuesday, January 9, at 5:21 pm in the 600 block of E. Tudor St. for a traffic violation. The driver, identified as Earl Junior Williams, 75, failed to stop, exhibited furtive movements inside the vehicle, and continued driving. The officer successfully halted the suspect's car in the 400 block of E. Grove.
Williams was taken into custody for Evading Arrest in a Vehicle. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a glass pipe commonly used for the smoking of cocaine.
This incident follows Williams' previous arrest on December 30 for another cocaine charge, currently pending prosecution.
