The officers walked up and identified themselves, Duncans then bolted inside with marijuana in his hands. Officers chased him inside, afraid he would destroy the evidence, police said. They stopped him in one of the bedrooms, where police saw more plants inside a closet, emitting a "fresh smell of marijuana," police said.
