The suspects led deputies on a high-speed chase. Their car stopped working as it was driving alongside railroad tracks, so investigators said the suspects ditched the car and ran into the woods.
SJSO Bloodhouse Daisy Mae found them. Yo'Hance Butler, 20, and Eric Felder, 28, were both arrested.
Deputies said they found more than 12 grams of cocaine in the car.
Butler and Felder were charged with resisting without violence and cocaine possession. Butler faces additional charges in Flagler County.
