Parolee throws heroin in bushes while fleeing corrections officer
Two parole officers performing a routine check found Alvis G. Dalton Jr. in his backyard on Osmond Ave., Tuesday afternoon, March 2.
According to a police report, when the officers approached Dalton he became nervous, tried to claim he needed to get some paperwork inside, and then took off running.
After wrestling with one officer he got loose and jumped a fence into the yard next door. The officer followed and, according to the report, saw Dalton throw a black object into the bushes.
Dalton eventually ran back into his own yard and was apprehended.
Officers searched the bushes and found a piece of black bicycle inner tube wrapped around a golf ball-sized object. The object turned out to be a 23.54 gram chunk of heroin wrapped in black duct tape.
Dalton was taken to Grandview Hospital after complaining of chest pain from running. He was treated and released into police custody. He faces possible charges of resisting arrest, obstructing official business, felonious assault on a police officer, and felony possession of drugs as well as a possible parole violation.
The officer who chased and wrestled with Dalton was treated for cut on his forehead and received stitches for a cut on his hand from jumping the fence.
