Carmel, New York – On April 14, 2016, the New York State Police from Brewster arrested Daniel O’Brien, age 36, of Cochecton, New York, following a vehicle pursuit which began in Connecticut.

Connecticut authorities advised the New York State Police they were attempting to stop a Ford F150 pick-up truck, which subsequently entered New York State. Shortly thereafter, the vehicle was spotted by a Village of Brewster Police Officer and the vehicle fled when the Officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and New York State Police joined the pursuit and the vehicle was subsequently stopped on State Route 6 in Carmel.

O’Brien exited his vehicle and immediately began physically fighting with law enforcement officers. He was transported to Putnam Hospital for injuries sustained during the struggle.
