A charge of Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance between 4 grams and 200 grams have been added for 36 year old Adam Joshua Hodges.

SCU was surveilling a residence for suspected narcotics sales last week when Hodges left the residence in a vehicle. SCU attempted a traffic stop and then Hodges exited the vehicle to flee on foot. 

Hodges was arrested after a short pursuit that ended on Morris Drive. Lt. Estes, Det. Sgt. Scott, and SSPD Officer Hoffman apprehended the suspect.

A search of the vehicle recovered approximately 18 grams of methamphetamine, almost 5 pounds of marijuana, and hydrocodone pills.

Hodges is currently held at Hopkins County Jail.
