ROTTERDAM – A Schenectady County man heads to court later this month to face drug and other charges in a car chase over the weekend, State police said Tuesday.
The 34-year-old Duanesburg man was stopped around 4:30 a.m. Friday on I-890 in Rotterdam for a vehicle and traffic law violation, then gave a false ID, police said. The trooper determined the man’s true identity and that there was an active warrant for his arrest issued by the Schoharie County Court, police said.Â
The driver allegedly refused to get out of the car and drove off, traveling to Campbell Road where he stopped the vehicle and tried to run away. He was taken into custody though he actively resisted, police said. The car allegedly contained controlled substances.    Â
He is charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, false personation, aggravated unlicensed operation and other traffic violations. He was issued an appearance ticket for Rotterdam Town Court on July 20 and turned over to the Schoharie County Probation Department for the unrelated warrant.
