Two Chesterfield County men were cited and a Florida resident was arrested earlier this month in connection to a violation of right of way statues in the state.

James Micah Gates, 28, of Cantenant, Fla, was arrested after he and two other suspects were observed travelling down Winburn Street in Patrick by sheriff’s deputies. Gates and the two suspects were trying to cross the railroad tracks in Patrick when deputy Mixon approached the men. The three attempted to flee from deputies, but mechanical failures on both ATV’s thwarted the attempts by the suspects. After the three were gathered Mixon reported that Gates turned his back to the cruiser and pulled a white substance from his cigarette pack and he began eating it. Mixon requested that Gates spit out the substance, but Gates refused and Mixon began attempts to retrieve the substance from Gates mouth after fearing for his safety. After no success in his attempts Mixon placed Gates under arrest. Gates later admitted that the substance he was swallowing was a pill prescribed to him and that he was aware it being out of its designated container was unlawful.
