White Plains, NY – A 22-year-old Ossining man was arrested Tuesday morning after allegedly fleeing police in a high-speed chase that began in Yonkers and spanned several Westchester towns, according to the Westchester County Police Department.
Police said the incident began around 11:05 a.m. when an officer on the northbound Saw Mill River Parkway observed a BMW sedan without a front license plate. When the officer attempted a traffic stop, the driver allegedly sped off, weaving through traffic and using the shoulder to pass other vehicles.
According to authorities, the pursuit was briefly terminated for safety reasons but resumed after the vehicle was spotted in Ardsley and Greenburgh. Officers later located the car on the Taconic Parkway in Mount Pleasant, but the driver continued to flee at high speed.
Investigators later traced the BMW’s registration to Carmel. Two officers canvassed the area with help from the New York State Police, eventually spotting the suspect. Officials said the driver again tried to flee but ended up on a dead-end street, where he was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect was charged with Fleeing an Officer in a Motor Vehicle and Reckless Driving, both misdemeanors, and issued multiple traffic summonses, including Speeding, Unsafe Lane Change, and Failure to Signal.
Police reminded drivers that a minor traffic infraction can quickly escalate into serious charges: “Flee From Us, End Up in Cuffs.”
