BROOKSVILLE - A sheriff's deputy arrived at the house of a man with an arrest warrant Monday morning, only to have the suspect shove his bicycle at him and run away on foot, according to a report.

Richard Frazier, 42, of 915 Josephine St., was observed throwing a pill bottle into the woods during his attempted escape, deputies said.

The bottle was recovered in a wooded area and a field test confirmed the "white, chunky substance" inside was cocaine, according to the arrest report.

Deputies were there to arrest him on a charge of driving on a suspended license.

Frazier was apprehended and charged with resisting an officer without violence, tampering with evidence and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a church.

There are three active churches within the immediate area of his residence, deputies said.
