A 42 year-old Big Island man was charged with meth trafficking and other offenses, including reckless endangering.
Big Island police say Chad Cunningham of Kailua-Kona, fled from officers and passed a stopped school bus that was dropping off passengers on January 31.
On Wednesday (Feb. 8), Cunningham ran from officers who attempted to contact him as he left an Alii Drive apartment complex.
Following a foot pursuit, officers arrested him for reckless endangering and took him to the Kona police cellblock pending further investigation.
After obtaining a search warrant for his bag, police found 13.4 grams of crystal methamphetamine in 14 plastic bags, paraphernalia associated with drug distribution and an electric stun gun.
Cunningham made his first court appearance Friday. He's being held in lieu of $116,500.
