It is further alleged that a second vehicle operated by the defendant positioned his vehicle between the officers and the wanted vehicle and intentionally obstructed the officers from conducting a stop of the wanted vehicle, which assisted it in fleeing. It is alleged that the defendant operated his vehicle in a reckless and dangerous manner almost colliding with several of the officers as well as other motorists placing them in grave danger of death, committed a multitude of traffic infractions while doing so, and unlawfully fled from the police officers. Through a multi-agency combined effort involving the Yorktown Police, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, State Police, Carmel Police, and the Westchester County Police, both vehicles were located in Putnam Valley a short time later.
