Dethrow told Murfreesboro Police Officer Harry Haigh that Albea called him and asked him to remove a pill bottle in his home that contained cocaine because probation officers were following behind him and headed to his house to conduct a home compliance check. Dethrow exited the home and headed to his car as police and probation officers were pulling up.

His car rolled back into the front of the police cruiser as the officer jumped out and gave chase catching Dethrow in a matter of seconds. The suspect told police he dumped the pill bottle in the field that he ran into.

In the pill bottle, the cocaine that Albea allegedly mentioned on the phone. Arrested in the case was Dethrow, who was the one who allegedly had the pill bottle in his possession and reportedly fled from police. Albea was not charged with any wrong doing.
