Alerted by a caller to a man entering a vehicle in a resident’s driveway on the west side of town, Officer Thomas Reinecke found Osiris Alcequiez German, 38, of New York City around 12:20 p.m. , Detective Sgt. Justin Fox said.

As the officer approached, Fox said, German ignored his commands to stop and tossed a 2-foot-long machete on the ground.

Reinecke and backup Officer Kevin McKeary took German into custody.

They found him carrying pot and cocaine, Fox said.

German was charged with burglary and drug and weapons possession and released pending a hearing.

Fox urged residents not to leave their vehicles unlocked.
