A Cedartown man who attempted to flee from officers on foot last week was tased before he could get away, and was ultimately found in possession of narcotics including fentanyl, according to reports.

Cedartown Police arrested Kaleel Darnell Keshun King, 24, after he attempted to flee from an officer in a patrol vehicle looking for King at the time on Wednesday, June 19.

Per the report, King was described by a witness as a potential drug dealer after the witness watched King make a sale in front of them at the Grands gas station on South Main Street.

The officer who took the report knew King by description, and sought him out in the vehicle and found him walking toward Thompson and Main sometime after 7:30 p.m.

King saw the officer and began to run, and he got to Gibson Street before the officer first attempted to stop him, but then continued the chase on foot through at his residence where he was ultimately stopped after being tased by an officer.

He gave up after trying to destroy the narcotics he had in a purple bag in his pocket, but was unable to do so before he was put in cuffs and carried back to a squad car.

Police got the taser prongs off of him before he was taken to the Polk County Jail.

Before that, officers searched inside the purple bag he was attempting to conceal during the arrest and found bags of suspected marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine and “pressed fentanyl pills,” along with a digital scale and empty baggies.

He remains in the Polk County Jail as of this posting with bond denied on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges.

Those include eight counts of possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, marijuana – purchase, possession, manufacture, distribution or sale, two counts of possession of tools for the commission of a crime, and misdemeanors for loitering or prowling, obstructing law enforcement officers and possession of marijuana less than an ounce.
