Lee County deputies attempted a traffic stop in Auburn on December 28, 2025, but the vehicle did not initially stop and continued at high speed, according to Sheriff Jim H. Johnson.
Before the vehicle stopped, the driver threw an object from the window. A deputy retrieved the item, which tested positive for methamphetamine.

A Lee County justice court judge set Fowler’s bond at $25,000, sheriff Johnson said.
