Michael Ruben Evans

Two Cullman residents were arrested this weekend on drug-related and other charges following a car chase that ended in Morgan County.

The incident started in Fairview when the Cullman Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET) arrested Michael Ruben Evans, 44, on an outstanding warrant on Sunday.

During the arrest, Fasha Jade Deans, 26, fled the scene in her vehicle, a white Cadillac CTS. CNET agents pursued her, with help from the Cullman Police Department and Cullman County Sheriff deputies, according to a prepared statement from Sheriff Matt Gentry.

Deans reportedly stopped just outside of Hartselle when her vehicle struck a road sign.

After a short foot chase, officers caught and arrested Dean on charges of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana 2nd, two counts of attempting to elude, reckless endangerment and certain persons forbidden to possess a pistol.

Other charges may be pending as the investigation continues.

The arrest led to the seizure of methamphetamine, marijuana, a 12-gauge shotgun and a 380 pistol, according to Gentry.

“I am proud our law enforcement officers were able to arrest the two individuals and do it safely,” said Gentry in a statement. “This is yet another example of our tireless effort to pursue drug offenders that are hurting our community.”

Evans and Dean are being held at the Cullman County Detention Center. No bond has been set for Evans. Dean’s bond is set at $24,000.
