The front seat passenger of a car thought to be involved in an armed robbery decided to hop from the vehicle and run from police. The incident occurred on North Tennessee Boulevard on Tuesday.

23-Year old Stephon Terrell Canty was tackled by an officer after leaping from the car. Police say they found six small bags of marijuana in his possession and a small bag of cocaine. Canty allegedly admitted to police that he had five to six “bumps” of cocaine throughout the course of the night.
