La. man evades arrest by riding away on horse

The Houston Chronicle

A Louisiana man suspected of participating in a drug deal tried to evade arrest by riding away on his horse, authorities said.

A Harris County deputy saw what he thought to be a drug deal between 28-year-old Elvin Dunn and another person in a parking lot in the 7400 block of Harrison last week, authorities said.

Dunn, who was on horseback, did not stop after the deputy told him several times to do so, authorities said. He told the deputy that the horse would not stop, authorities said.

The deputy, who felt Dunn was making no effort to stop the horse, instructed him to pull back on the reins of the horse and after a short distance the horse stopped, authorities said.

Dunn was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and evading detention. He was released from Harris County Jail after posting a combined $1,000 bond.

The horse was released to Dunn's uncle.

No further information was immediately available.
