A DeKalb County man spent a night in a Florida jail after police found 48 pounds of marijuana in his truck during a traffic stop, authorities said.
David Ravin Walfall, 31, of Decatur, was released Monday after posting $27,500 bond, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with trafficking marijuana, possessing drug paraphernalia, leaving the scene of a crash involving property records and resisting an officer without violence, booking records show.
Officers tried to stop Walfall for allegedly failing to stop his 2005 Ford pickup before entering the roadway as he left a gas station in Punta Gorda, The News-Press reported on its website. But Walfall ran from the truck and led officers on a short chase before being taken into custody, according to the report.
After Walfall exited his truck, it continued to roll and struck a parked vehicle, police told Florida media. Inside Walfall’s truck, a police dog alerted officers to a bag containing 48.15 pounds of marijuana.
