A Detroit man was arrested last week after he threw bags of cocaine onto the roofs of the Red Lobster and Texas Road House restaurants in St. Clair County as he was running from authorities, officials said.
Eric Talton, 29, was arrested by authorities with the county’s Drug Task Force team on July 3.
The team members tried to arrest Talton at the Qdoba in Fort Gratiot Township, but he ran away from them.
During the foot chase, Talton allegedly threw 18.5 grams of cocaine onto the roof of the Red Lobster restaurant and 1.8 grams onto the roof of the Texas Roadhouse restaurant.
Authorities recovered both bags of cocaine.
