EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 An El Paso man was sentenced to seven years in prison last week after police said he tossed a bag of cocaine out of his car during a traffic stop.<\/p>\n

As KFOX14\/CBS4 previously reported, in May police said 30-year-old Bryan Delara refused to stop near 6100 Alameda and threw a large plastic bag with 74 baggies of cocaine out of his vehicle.<\/p>\n

Delara was arrested and charged with the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, penalty group 1, over or equal to 4 grams but less than 200 grams, and evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 3, Delara pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n

According to the El Paso Police Department, the incident began when officers on patrol on Saturday, May 16, at 3:16 a.m. near 6100 Alameda said they saw a vehicle with a couple arguing. When officers approached, a woman hurried away.<\/p>\n

Police then contacted the driver, identified as Delara, who police said is homeless.<\/p>\n

Officers said Delara quickly put the vehicle in reverse, committing a traffic violation in their presence.<\/p>\n

When officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, they said Delara refused to stop and threw the large plastic bag out of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Delara eventually stopped at the intersection of Alameda and Clark, where he was arrested. <\/p>\n

Police were then able to recover the plastic bag and said it contained 74 individually wrapped baggies of cocaine.<\/p>\n
