By News Channel NebraskaLINCOLN, Neb. -- A man in Lincoln was taken into custody after officers found several types of drugs inside his vehicle.
The Lincoln Police Department said investigators with the Narcotics Task Force went up to a vehicle in an alley between E St. and F St. after they saw the vehicle involved in a traffic infraction around 10:20 p.m. on Monday.
Investigators said they asked the two people that were inside the vehicle to get out after they reportedly smelled the odor of marijuana. 24-year-old Anthony Mixan was one of the people in the vehicle and he ran from investigators right after getting out of the car.
According to authorities, they pursued Mixan on foot for five blocks and then lost sight of him. A Police Service Dog (PSD) was then called in for him and the PSD found Mixan in the area that investigators first lost him.
Officials said they chased Mixan again before finally taking him into custody. The vehicle was searched and investigators reportedly found small amounts of methamphetamine, cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, and several prescription drugs.
LPD said Mixan was lodged in jail for possession of controlled substance, obstructing a police officer, and resisting arrest.
