ENGLEWOOD — A man who jumped out of a Hummer authorities were following fled into the woods and tried to hide Tuesday evening, according to a Charlotte County Sheriff’s report. It appears the man had good reason, as deputies found he had ditched just over 6 pounds of marijuana (in vacuum-sealed bags) and $5,846 cash, the report shows.

A CCSO K-9 unit caught up to Xavier Jason Hearns, 25, of the 15600 block of Aldama Circle, Port Charlotte, and arrested him on charges of possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. He was held at the Charlotte County Jail Wednesday without bond.
