Drug arrest made after driver attempted to elude Deputy




March 18, 2020

Deputy Mike Sinclair was patrolling his assigned zone yesterday when he clocked a vehicle driving at 13 miles an hour over the posted speed limit on CR 331A just east of Williston. He turned on his lights signaling the driver to pull over when the driver made an abrupt turn into a yard then drove through an adjacent field attempting to elude him. Deputy Sinclair saw the passenger door open and a black bag was thrown out by the passenger. The driver ultimately stopped in a nearby driveway immediately exited the vehicle, laid on the ground and surrendered.

Deputy Sinclair detained the driver identified as Robert Wilson (5/10/79) of Bradenton and his passenger, Doreen Hayston (10/3/64) of Fort White. The bag thrown from the moving car was recovered and found to contain a large quantity of marijuana (202 grams) and crack cocaine (22 ½ grams). 

Wilson was arrested for fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement. Hayston was also arrested for possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia in addition to an outstanding warrant for her arrest for possession of narcotics and drug paraphernalia. Wilson and Hayston are being held at the Levy County Detention Facility. Wilson’s bond is set at $16,000.00 and Hayston’s bond is set at $57,200.00.
