A deputy out on patrol pulled Atwood over around 4:00 Saturday morning on Theodore Dawes Road. He noticed numerous pseudoephedrine packages in the car.
Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient of meth. When the deputy asked Atwood to get out of the car, he ran off.
The deputy caught Atwood after a short chase and took him to a local hospital to be checked out. About 30 minutes later, the sheriff's office says Atwood made a second escape attempt by crawling through the ceiling of his hospital room. Deputies saw what he was doing and managed to grab his feet. They yanked Atwood down. He fell 8-feet to the floor, separating his shoulder. He also suffered minor bruises.
While searching Atwood's car, they found meth, needles, a sppon and other items used to make meth. Atwood is charged with resisting arrest, criminal mischief, escape, illegal possession of a prescription, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a drivers license, an expired tag and no insurance.

I don’t think I have ever seen a successful looking meth dealer. Their meth labs are usually in trailers that rats refuse to live in and they look like crusted over cat chit! What is the appeal of this drug? Are they striving for that special date with a toothless relative?
