In order to get away from Murfreesboro Police, 35 year old Orlando Chesterfield allegedly jumped out of the second story window of a hotel room.

On Friday night police were called to the Red Roof Inn on Armory Drive where it was suspected that someone was selling drugs in a second story room. When police knocked on the hotel door a voice inside asked who was at the door. Police then heard the commode flush about four times after notifying the hotel guest that police were outside the door. A female then answered the door and yelled that the suspect just jumped out of the window. Another officer located Chesterfield a short distance away and placed him under arrest.

In the hotel room, police found a single crack rock and noticed that marijuana was floating in the toilet. There was also marijuana in the bathtub.

Chesterfield was charged with tampering with evidence for reportedly flushing drugs down the commode. He was also charged with evading arrest and possession of a schedule two and schedule six drug.
