Art Taylor, 18, was pulled over for failing to signal before turning just after 8:30 Tuesday evening.
Upon being pulled over, Taylor failed to comply with requests to see his license and registration.
"He made a quick movement to the center console, and there was small baggie with a white powder in it," Brandolini said.
Taylor swallowed the bag while fighting off the police trying to stop and arrest him.
Police also used a dog to search the car for other drugs, but to no avail.
Taylor was charged with assault and battery on an officer, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, the turn signal violation and refusing to give police his license and registration.
Taylor pleaded not guilty, was released without bail and is pending a pretrial conference Jan. 6, 2011.
