The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office used fingerprints to identify the body found floating in a pond as 30-year-old Willie Dukes.
Dukes was wanted by the Sheriff's Office. last week, deputies tried to pull Dukes over for a traffic violation. He lead them on a short chase during which deputies say Dukes swallowed three bags of cocaine.
When he finally stopped, Dukes had white powder smeared all over his face. He attacked the deputy and fought with him three times before running into a wooded area.
Deputies and K-9's searched the woods that night and again the next morning but never found Dukes.
The autopsy has been rescheduled for Monday.
