Her passenger, who was believed to be David Jeffries, escaped by jumping off a cliff in woods during a foot chase, police stated in the affidavit. He was wanted on several arrest warrants.

Police said Fleming identified Jeffries as Delmar Pritchett after her vehicle was stopped about 7 p.m. Police said they found $250 in a door panel in her vehicle and 16 bundles of heroin in her residence.

She is in Washington County jail on $25,000 bond set by District Judge Mark Wilson.
