NATCHEZ — Tyrone Butler and Robert E. Henderson were arrested on charges of selling cocaine Monday night.

Henderson, also known as Duece Duece, 28, 151 Tubman Circle, who fled the scene when officers of the Metro Narcotics Unit and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics pulled up to arrest him on the cocaine charge, is also charged with felony fleeing, aggravated assault on an officer, driving with a suspended license and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

“One of the agents got out of the marked unit,” Metro Narcotics Commander Cliff Cox said. “That’s when (Henderson) fled almost hitting the officer with the vehicle.”

Cox said he was not sure how close Henderson came to hitting the officer, but it was close enough to scare him.

After following the men to 22 Jason Court officers found more drugs and a Kimber .45 caliber pistol. Henderson was on probation after an Oct. 5, 2000, conviction for aggravated assault, for which he was sentenced to 15 years.
