State Police in Elbridge arrested Anthony C. Brown, age 22, from 54 Mechanic Street Jordan, NY for Criminal Impersonation 2nd degree, a class “A” misdemeanor; Reckless Endangerment 2nd degree, a class “A” misdemeanor; and Obstructing Government Administration 2nd degree, a class “A” misdemeanor.
On Saturday, September 24, 2016, at approximately 8pm, Troopers stopped a 1993 Yamaha motorcycle at a DWI Checkpoint on State Route 5 in the Town of Elbridge. Brown was directed to pull to the side of the roadway for having no NYS inspection sticker on the motorcycle. Brown failed to comply and sped away from the checkpoint passing a motorist on the right. He continued west on State Route 5 at a high rate of speed. Brown then lost control of the motorcycle and crashed off the north shoulder of the roadway. Brown then fled the scene on foot. Members of the State police, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit, and Air 1 responded to the area. Shortly thereafter, Brown was located by Tpr. Cody Henderson hiding behind a building approx. 200 feet northwest of the accident scene and was taken into custody without further incident.
During the investigation, Brown identified himself with a false name but later admitted to giving Troopers a false name due to the fact that he had active warrants and no NYS license. He was charged with Criminal Impersonation 2nd degree, Reckless Endangerment 2nd degree, Obstructing Governmental Administration 2nd degree and numerous vehicle and traffic violations.
Brown was arraigned in the Town of Elbridge court and remanded to the Onondaga County Justice Center in lieu of $2,500 cash/ $5,000 bond.
