It hasn’t been a good month for a 22-year-old Chatham man.
Last week, he was charged with committing an indecent act in a schoolyard, and last night officers charged him with failing to comply, escaping custody and drug possession.
Police say an officer saw a man riding his bike behind an abandoned building on Keil Drive in Chatham last night about 5 p.m. As the officer approached, police say the man tossed a pornographic magazine on the ground.
As the officer began to make an arrest, police say the man wriggled free and fled into a nearby wooded lot. He was apprehended a short while later, and found to be in possession of methamphetamine.
