Upstate NY Man Evades Cops, Barricades Inside House for an Hour

What they thought was going to be a routine traffic stop, turned into a much larger ordeal.

Forest Ranger Cordell was recently on patrol in the Town of Caledonia when he was passed by a driver, breaking multiple traffic violations. Cordell flicked on his lights and tried to get the driver to pull over. Instead, the man continued to drive and speed away.

Ranger Cordell quickly called for help, requesting support from Livingston County Sheriff's Deputies and Avon Police. The chase continued, leading the officers to the man's home Caledonia. He then ran inside, barricading himself from the officers.

Peaceful Resolution

After an hour of negotiations, the driver was talked out of his home. Authorities quickly took the man into custody, transporting him to the New York State Police barracks in Geneseo. Ranger Cordell charged him with three misdemeanors, which included Fleeing in a Motor Vehicle and two Vehicle & Traffic Law violations.
