Kevin A. Schoonmaker, 32, of Kerhonkson, was arrested around 3 p.m., Friday, Dec. 13, after the Ulster County Sheriff's Office responded to a disturbance call on Samsonville Road in Kerhonkson, said Det. Lt. Abram Markiewicz.
When deputies arrived on the scene they found that Schoonmaker had fled the scene, but was apprehended a short time after, Markiewicz said.
An investigation found that Schoonmaker allegedly illegally possessed a number of prescription pills and had smashed out a window in a residence.
Schoonmaker was taken to Ellenville Regional Hospital for treatment and was later charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal mischief, Markiewicz said.
The department was assisted by the New York State Police.
