PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) – A Lexington man faces drug trafficking and other charges after allegedly fleeing Floyd County deputies on October 3rd.
 

According to the arrest citation, deputies investigating a tip attempted to stop Franklin Jamar Brooks, 30, on Old Middle Creek Road after observing a turn signal violation.
 

The citation alleges Brooks fled, forcing a deputy to move out of his path to avoid being struck, before continuing onto KY 114 at high speed.
 

During the pursuit, Brooks allegedly threw bags from his vehicle, scattering a gray substance a deputy suspected was carfentanil.
 

Deputies stopped Brooks using a rolling roadblock. A deputy reported deploying a Taser after Brooks allegedly resisted being removed from the vehicle.
 

Brooks was charged with aggravated trafficking in carfentanil/fentanyl derivatives, three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment involving a police officer, first-degree fleeing or evading police, and a turn signal violation.
 

He was taken to the Floyd County Detention Center.
