Driver arrested on drug, other counts

A Conway man is accused of having MDMA pills and suspected marijuana in his car, and of striking a patrol vehicle while running from police Sunday morning, an arrest report said.

The report said that officers searched the driver, Trevious Rashon Williams, 22, and found seven MDMA pills in Williams' pocket and a bag of suspected marijuana in the vehicle.

Williams was in the Pulaski County jail Sunday evening without bail facing several drug charges, two charges of failure to stop or yield, a fleeing charge and a reckless-driving charge, according to the jail's roster.
