Upon deputies arrival to a residence in the 4300 blk of W 500 S., Cobb was seen walking outside near a garage and parked RV.

Cobb was given multiple commands to stop by multiple deputies and continued to flee until taken into
custody by Deputy Maximino Medina. During a search of Cobb’s person, suspected narcotics were
located. Cobb was uninjured during the foot chase however was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital
for medical clearance due to recent narcotics use before being remanded into the jail. In additional to
his original warrants for narcotics offenses, Cobb was charged preliminarily with resisting law
enforcement and an additional narcotics offense.

offenders a priority, especially those who deal narcotics such as methamphetamine in our community.

am thankful no one was injured in this incident.”

dealing narcotics warrants as well as his additional charges stemming from allegations with this incident.”
