A 21-year-old Bronx man is facing multiple charges after allegedly fleeing a traffic stop in Yorktown, leading officers on a chase that ended in a crash in Putnam County, police said.
At around 11:20 p.m. on July 10, the department said a patrol officer tried to stop a car with a non-transparent, non-standard rear windshield and an inadequate muffler near Barger Street.
When Starlin Siri Marte, the driver, failed to stop, a pursuit began and continued into Putnam County, where he crashed. He was arrested at midnight on July 11 and transported to a local hospital, where he declined medical services. He was then transported back to YPD for processing.
