CORNELIUS, Ore. — Offensive littering is one of the charges a Beaverton man faces after fleeing from deputies and throwing money out the car window.

The Clackamas County sheriff’s office says Kyler Martin sped away after his Cadillac was pulled over for a traffic violation about 3 a.m. Saturday in Cornelius.

During the chase a deputy saw items being thrown out the window. When they went back to check, deputies found paper money.

KOIN reports the car was eventually stopped and the 26-year-old was arrested. Deputies found 5 ounces of marijuana in the car.

Along with offensive littering, Martin is charged with attempting to elude police and reckless driving.
