The man, later identified Atlasbet as 44-year-old Shawn Foster, was seen by detectives throwing cocaine from the driver’s side window, police said.
Foster eventually came to a stop and was arrested.
Police recovered 6 grams of cocaine, a gram of marijuana and $441 in cash.
Foster was charged with multiple drug offenses, tampering with physical evidence, having a suspended driver’s license, failing to stop and careless driving.
