Colorado Man Arrested In Flagstaff After A Police Chase

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say what began as a report of possible explosives in a Flagstaff store parking lot ended with a police chase and drug arrest.

Flagstaff police say 53-year-old Berel David Stolworthy of Durango, Colorado, is being held on $250,000 bond.

They say Stolworthy is being held on suspicion of transportation of narcotic drugs for sale, possession of narcotic drugs for sale, possession of dangerous drugs and fleeing from a law enforcement officer.

Police received a report Tuesday of someone in a car leaving four propane tanks in a parking lot.

A bomb squad was called in, but police say nothing suspicious was found.

Officers located the suspect vehicle and a pursuit began before Stolworthy was arrested.

Police say $9,000 worth of marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine was found in the vehicle.
