Pequannock police tried pulling over Derek Schor on Route 23 after he stole cigarettes from an Exxon station in Wayne in August 2017, authorities said.
Schor -- who had a suspended driver's license -- kept going, leading a pursuit involving several police units that ended when his Ford F-150 rolled over three times on the I-287 entrance ramp in Riverdale, they said.
Schor bolted, but a K-9 unit found him hiding in waist-deep water in a nearby ravine, authorities said at the time.
Jurors on Monday found Schor guilty of eluding while creating a risk of death or injury, resisting arrest by flight and driving while suspended, Morris County Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp and Chief of Investigations Stephen F. Wilson, Jr. said in a joint release.
Superior Court Judge David H. Ironson scheduled sentencing for April 5 and ordered that Schor be held in the Morris County Jail until then.
