An Alabama woman is on the run in a car bearing a tag with her name on it after fleeing authorities and allegedly driving her car toward a Jackson County narcotics agent Tuesday, leading him to fire his weapon at her.
Around 8 p.m. Tuesday, agents with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office narcotics unit were investigating complaints of drug activity in the area of County Road 673 in Stevenson, Alabama, according to a statement issued Wednesday by the sheriff’s office.
As officers approached two vehicles and an all-terrain vehicle stopped at a dead end, an unidentified man fled on the ATV and the officers made contact with the people in the two cars, one man identified as 47-year-old Michael Keith Garrard and a woman identified as 48-year-old Madonna Lynn Gant, both of whom are familiar to the agents, authorities said in the statement.
Officers searched one of the vehicles and found a suspected methamphetamine pipe with residue on it, according to the statement.
As officers placed Garrard under arrest and put him in handcuffs, Gant made her move, authorities said.
