Narcotics Agent located two vehicles and a four wheeler/ATV parked at the dead end of County Road 673. As Agents approached, an unidentified male subject left the area on the four wheeler/ATV. Agents then made contact with a male (Michael Keith GARRARD) and a female (Madonna Lynn GANT), both which were familiar to the Agents. After locating a methamphetamine pipe with methamphetamine residue in one of the vehicles, Agent placed GARRARD under arrest and placed him in handcuffs. At the same time, GANT, jumped into a blue 2011 Ford Mustang bearing AL personalized Tag “LYNGANT” and attempted to flee the area.
