A man tossed a backpack over a fence while running from police, and officers later found 110 grams of suspected methamphetamine inside, according to charges. The foot pursuit followed an early-morning motorcycle trip through Austin on Sept. 16.

Adam Edward Sorum, 39, of Albert Lea, is charged with felony first-degree drug possession, gross misdemeanor driving after cancellation and misdemeanor fleeing on foot.

Officers watching a residence on the 1000 block of Seventh Avenue Northeast around 3:25 a.m. saw Sorum leave on a motorcycle, according to the complaint. An officer followed him to a Kwik Trip on Fourth Street Northwest and confirmed that his driving privileges were canceled as inimical to public safety.
