State Police in Princetown arrested a Duanesburg man on numerous charges after he fled from troopers Friday.
State Police said troopers stopped Jesse M. Mchargue, 34, on I-890 in Rotterdam for a vehicle and traffic violation.
The driver provided false identifying information, State Police said, but the trooper determined the driver was Mr. Mchargue and that there was an active warrant for his arrest issued by the Schoharie County Court.
Troopers said Mr. Mchargue refused to exit his vehicle, and against the trooper’s instructions, fled in the vehicle.
A pursuit followed and continued until Mr. Mchargue was in the area of Campbell Road, where he stopped the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, State Police said.
Troopers apprehended him, and Mr. Mchargue resisted, according to State Police.
Troopers found multiple controlled substances in Mr. Mchargue’s vehicle, State Police said.
Mr. Mchargue was charged with two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, third-degree fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, second-degree obstructing governmental administration, false personation, aggravated unlicensed operator and other vehicle and traffic violations.
Mr. Mchargue was processed in Princetown and is to appear in Rotterdam Town Court July 20. He was turned over to the Schoharie County Probation Department for the unrelated warrant.
