MOBILE, Ala. -- A man was arrested early today after police said he bolted from a car at a fast-food take-out lane and led a police officer on a brief foot chase.
Dwayne Maguay Pettaway, 31, was charged?with altering the identification of a firearm, cocaine trafficking, two counts of cocaine possession, three counts of use and possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, second-degree marijuana possession and third-degree receiving stolen property, according to records at Mobile County Metro Jail. ?He was being?held without bail Thursday night.
Spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said the officer first spotted Pettaway’s car swerving on Government Boulevard around 1 a.m. and was preparing to stop it when Pettaway turned into the Burger King near Government Boulevard and Azalea Road.
The officer came around the back to watch the car, Levy said, and when Pettaway realized the officer was watching, he jumped from his car in the take-out lane.
After a brief foot chase, Pettaway was arrested. Levy said a small black bag in Pettaway’s possession had about $7,000 worth of crack cocaine, a stolen pistol and some marijuana.
Pettaway will appear Friday morning in Mobile County District Court.
