The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office reports that a deputy noticed a vehicle travel onto Turner Street from Highway 70 before the two men fled on foot near Circle Drive.
The deputy chased after the two men and later found them trying to hide in the woods near Highway 70. The sheriff’s office reports the men had car keys, cash, and drugs on their person.
A search revealed 11 grams of meth, three grams of heroin, and a baggie with broken Ecstasy tablets. The drugs were found inside the vehicle and where the two men attempted to hide in the woods.
Both Lauderdale and Fullilove were booked into the DeKalb County Jail under $16,500 bond with court appearances scheduled for June 27.
