Further charges were also added against Thomas, due to a brush with a CCSO deputy
on Aug. 22nd. A deputy had performed a traffic stop on Thomas on C.R. 491 at the Black

thrown (what was believed to be) crack cocaine onto the road. The area where Thomas fled

bond); failure to stop or fleeing a law enforcement officer after being ordered to stop
($5000 bond); and resisting an officer without violence ($500 bond).
