After two Alabama men led police on a chase, they were arrested for having ingredients to make meth as well as the drug inside their truck, police said.

When DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jonathan Langley tried to pull a white Chevrolet with an expired tag off County Road 27, the truck driver sped away, Sheriff Jimmy Harris said in a news release.

As Langley chased the truck on back roads, the passenger threw a black bag out the window, Harris said.

Finally another sheriff’s deputy set spikes across Alabama Highway 75 and that blew the truck’s tires, he said. But the driver didn’t stop for several blocks, continuing to drive on the tire rims. The Henagar Police Department assisted in deploying the spike strips on County Road 27.

The truck’s passenger, Randall Ordell Ginn, 24, of Henagar, Ala., tried to flee on foot, but he was caught and taken to jail. The driver, Jody Daniel Phillips, 36, of Fort Payne, Ala., also was arrested and taken to jail, Harris said.
