Ulster County resident Robert Vanhorn, age 48, of Napanoch, was arrested on Friday, Oct. 6.
According to Sgt. Colin Reynolds of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office, on Thursday, Oct. 5 deputies responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic violence attack in Napanoch.
Prior to arriving at the home, deputies received information that Vanhorn had left the residence and was located a short time later, Reynolds said.
When deputies attempted to pull Vanhorn over he refused to stop and fled at a "dangerous" high rate of speed, police said.
Deputies stopped the pursuit for safety reasons, Reynolds said.
An investigation into the assault found that Vanhorn caused physical injury to a woman during the course of a dispute. The victim was transported to Ellenville Regional Hospital for treatment, Reynolds added.
On Oct. 6 deputies located Vanhorn and took him into custody. He was charged with:
- Assault
- Unlawful fleeing of a police officer
- Aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle
- Reckless driving
He was arraigned and released on his own recognizance. An order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim.
