A probation absconder driving without a valid license Monday admitted to throwing cocaine out of his vehicle, according to the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

Raheem Mallory, 28, remains in the Halifax County Detention Center without the opportunity for bond for the probation violation and a $25,000 secured bond for drug charges and fleeing from Community Action Team Sergeant G. Martin.

Martin, according to Major Anzell Harris, observed Mallory in the area of Highway 903 and Interstate 95  and knew he was a probation absconder and didn’t have a valid driver’s license.

Martin conducted a traffic stop on Mallory at a convenience store parking area. Once Martin exited his patrol vehicle, Mallory drove away.

While chasing Mallory on Highway 903 towards the Highway 48 area, Martin noticed items being discarded from the vehicle. Just before Highway 48, CAT Sergeant D. Harrison and Narcotics Lieutenant S. Casey assisted to get the vehicle stopped and took Mallory into custody.

Halifax Regional Drug and Gang Task Force Agent K. Taylor and canine officer Loki arrived and conducted an open-air sniff on the vehicle. A positive alert for the odor of narcotics was given. Mallory was charged with felony flee to elude with motor vehicle, felony possession of cocaine, felony alter/steal/ destroy criminal evidence, failure to heed lights and siren, unsafe passing on a yellow line and speeding.

Mallory has a March 27 district court date for Martin’s charges and a March 17 district court for the probation violation.
