Marcus Burdette (Source: Nacogdoches County Jail)NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
A 54-year-old
Nacogdoches man allegedly fled into the woods behind his home on Highway 259
Tuesday evening after sheriff's deputies arrived to execute a search warrant in
connection to an ongoing investigation concerning the manufacture and delivery
of methamphetamine.
After a "detailed
search of the area," Nacogdoches County Sheriff's deputies arrested Marcus Dan
Burdette a short time later.
Burdette
is still being held in the Nacogdoches County Jail on a state-jail felony
criminal mischief charge, a second-degree felony charge of possession of a
controlled substance less than or equal to four grams, and a Class A
misdemeanor charge of evading arrest or detention.
The NCSO
deputies arrived to execute the search warrant at Burdette's home in the 14000
block of Highway 259 around 6 p.m. Tuesday. When they got there, they spotted
Burdette in his back yard. Not too long after that, he fled on foot into the
wooded area behind his house.
During a
search of the property, the NCSO deputies found two clear plastic bags
containing methamphetamine.
