Dylan R. Robertson, 27, Odessa, was charged July 30 in connection with an incident that occurred in Gallatin on May 22. He was charged with possession of controlled substance, D felony, and misdemeanors of driving while revoked, resisting arrest, and drug paraphernalia, as well as second degree trespassing, an infraction.
According to the probable cause statement, Gallatin Police Officer Andrew Alborn observed two vehicles pull into the Casey’s parking lot to get gas on May 22. A red Geo Storm did not have a front license plate and was bearing an expired plate on the back. A few minutes later as Office Alborn was following the vehicles, it appeared that they were attempting to elude the officer as he attempted a traffic stop for the plate offenses.
As the two vehicles were headed west on Jackson Street, the green Chevrolet stopped just before the intersection to Water Street, and the red Geo Storm drove off the south side of the roadway, through the yard located at 308 W. Jackson Street and then came to a stop in the yard of the squirrel cage jail. When the officer reached the Storm, the driver had fled on foot.
Office Alborn was able to positively identify the driver as Dylan Robertson by speaking with his girlfriend. A records check showed that Robertson’s driving privileges were revoked and he had a prior conviction for driving while revoked and two convictions for no driver’s license. Robertson was able to elude officers and was not taken into custody that night.
The following day during an inventory of the vehicle, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia were found. Robertson is also on probation in District 19 for stealing $750 or more and stealing of any firearm.
A warrant has been issued for Robertson, and bond is denied.
