Boerne Star Newspaper: 4 arrested on drug charges after chase
Posted: Friday, June 22, 2012 2:23 pm
“After an extensive manhunt aided by a Texas Department of Public Service helicopter, K-9 units and a private citizen, Kendall County deputies apprehended three men and a woman suspected of dealing methamphetamines and pills.
At about 6 p.m. June 12, deputies responded to a 911 call from a woman at 139 Hope Road in Comfort [sic: Alamo Springs] who reported a disturbance at her home involving drugs and a firearm. As the homeowner called 911, three men and a woman fled the house by car, and were intercepted on Old No. 9 by deputies responding to the initial distress call.
When deputies initiated a traffic stop, the suspects sped up and tried to evade officers, before finally pulling over. Two men ran from the car, and deputies arrested the remaining occupants, Anthony Lee Rendon, 36, and Michelle Fowler, 34.
Deputies then requested a DPS helicopter and K-9 support to help locate the fleeing suspects, later identified as Anthony Sloan, 36, and Thomas Marcheleovich, 45. Law enforcement continued to search for the suspects at large, and Sloan was located in the 600 block of FM 473 after a tip from a passerby who reported a suspicious person.
Marcheleovich was apprehended the following day without incident.
During a search of the escape vehicle, deputies found large amounts of methamphetamines and prescription medications. All four suspects were placed in custody on a variety of charges, including possession with intent to deliver, possession of dangerous drugs and evading arrest or detention. Both Marcheleovich and Sloan have extensive criminal records.”
