A suspected methamphetamine dealer was arrested after he tossed a bag of trash from a truck instead of the bag containing the drug, police said.
Jason Coates, 35, of Tracy “was visibly shaken when he was told he had tossed the wrong bag” while being pursued by police, Alameda County Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Angeja said.
Coates was charged Monday with possession of methamphetamine for sale, possessing a firearm while selling drugs and evading police.
