The officer then told Eastman to step out of the vehicle and asked if he had any contraband or weapons, at which point Royal Eastman became aloof and started moving around the vehicle, away from the officer…
At that point Eastman took off running and turned into the yard of a residence nearby…As the officer is chasing him he observed Eastman drop something. Sheriff Royal says the officer keeps up the foot persuit and eventually has to use his mace to get Eastman under control.
