Senior Dryden McKay had shutouts in both games against St. Thomas, making 13 saves in last Thursday s 9-0 home win over the Tommies and nine in Saturday s 5-0 victory.
One of the deputies, Dane Minor, reported in a probable cause affidavit that he walked up to the passenger side window and began talking to Ellis when he detected the smell of burned marijuana, saw a baggie with a white substance, and saw a bag on the passenger seat he suspected of containing drugs.
Deputies were already suspicious, saying they saw him moving around in the car as if he was trying to hide something while coming to a slow stop.
While other deputies were trying to remove Ellis from the car, he put the car in gear and sped off with the deputy’s upper body still inside the vehicle.
