A Coffeyville man is arrested after fleeing from deputies.

Yesterday evening, Montgomery County Sheriff Deputies attempted to stop a white 2013 Chevy truck for traffic violations near the intersection of Highway 160 and Highway 169, south of Cherryvale. The truck did not stop and turned south on HWY 169 traveling at speeds over 100 mph. During the pursuit, the truck traveled on the wrong side of the road, failed to stop at stop signs, failed to use turn signals and continued driving at high rates of speed. A deputy used a patrol unit forcing the suspect to come to a stop.

The driver was identified as Malachi Porter. About two ounces of methamphetamine and a small amount of cocaine were located on Porter. He was transported to the Montgomery County Department of Corrections where he is currently in custody on recommended narcotics charges, felony fleeing and eluding and multiple traffic infractions.
