A Saudi in his 30s was arrested here Thursday for possessing four tiles of hashish. The man initially sped away and refused to stop at a checkpoint in a street east of the city. Police patrols combed the area in an attempt to locate him. Four patrol cars found the man and forced him to stop. The man got out of his car and again tried to flee on foot but was captured. Hashish was found hidden inside the front seats of the car.
