ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. (WKRG) — A man was arrested and charged with multiple crimes after he was caught driving a stolen car and found with methamphetamine is in underwear after a traffic stop on Monday, according to an arrest report.

According to the arrest report, a deputy saw a blue Nissan Altima with a Florida tag, which was reported stolen. The deputy said they were waiting for "additional units" when two men got into the car and drove away on the south side of the OYO Hotel on Pensacola Blvd.

The deputy said he tried to pull them over, but the driver did not stop. The deputy said he saw the car "jump the curb" on N W St. and a man running south on W. St. wearing a white tee shirt and dark pants.

Deputies tried to use a K9 to locate the suspect, but were unsuccessful.
