A man from West Palm Beach was arrested in Georgia Tuesday with 70 pounds of suspected cocaine.

According to officials with the Georgia State Patrol, 23 year-old Henry A. Carty was charged with cocaine trafficking, speeding, obstruction of justice, felony fleeing, and other traffic charges. Police say a trooper attempted to stop Carty for speeding around 4:45 p.m. on I-75 near Old Dixie Highway. Carty drove onto an access road and a trooper used a maneuver to bring the Saturn to a stop, according to State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright.

Carty then ran across I-75 and into woods, where he was found about 20 minutes later, Wright said.

Troopers discovered 32 kilos of suspected cocaine inside Carty’s Saturn.
