In Albany County, state police troopers on patrol shortly before 10 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18 received a report of a stolen vehicle that was traveling south on I-87 in the town of Coeymans.
Troopers were able to locate the vehicle, a New York State Police spokesperson said, and when they attempted to pull over the driver, the teen failed to comply, prompting a pursuit.
According to police, troopers chased the vehicle on I-87 through the town of New Baltimore before it ultimately came to an end in Greene County when the teen - who was the only occupant of the vehicle - was stopped in the Town of Coxsackie.
The 18-year-old - whose name has not been released - was charged with:
- Possession of stolen property;
- Fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle;
- Multiple vehicle and traffic violations.
A return court date at the Town of Coxsackie Court has been scheduled for Monday, May 30.
