A Troy man has been charged with felony DWI and resisting arrest after fleeing from the site of a traffic stop.

State Police say Evan Remillard, 36, was driving erratically on Route 40 in the town of Schaghticoke around 9:30 p.m. Monday.  They say the 1995 Chevrolet was crossing over the center line of the road.

Troopers tell WNYT that when they tried to pull Remillard over he pulled behind an apartment building, jumped out of the car and ran into the woods.  He then disappeared after going down a ravine and running through a stream.  

Police say they then found Remillard at a friends home. He was then arrested, arraigned in the Schaghticoke Town Court, and remanded to Rensselaer County Jail on $1000 bail.

A Troy man is facing multiple charges after running from the police. That's according to the Colonie Police Department.

Police say that Justin Montgomery, 24, was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment in the first-degree, criminal mischief in the third-degree, criminal possession of stolen property, aggravated unlicensed operation, possession of a hypodermic needle, and driving while abilities impaired by drugs.

Police first recieved a call around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday that a man was breaking into a vehicle in the parking lot of Newton Plaza's CVS. The suspect had fled the scene before police arrived but investigators were able to use a description to identify him as Montgomery.

They found the man sitting at a gas pump at the Hess on Loudon Road. Montgomery fled when officers approached and asked him to put his hands on the steering wheel, according to police. Police lost sight of him after he left the lot, but minutes later began receiving calls of a reckless driver heading north on Loudon Rd. before turning into Latham Farms.

TROY - An 18-year-old Troy High School student will spend 15 years in prison for the gang-related stabbing death of a New York City man.

Kemo Santana pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and gang assault in Rensselaer County court Tuesday.

Santana admitted stabbing 26-year-old Edgar Aquino on Father's Day, during a brawl outside of the Martin Luther King apartment complex in Troy.

Prosecutors agreed to the plea deal, down from 2^nd murder because there were two large groups of people involved in the brawl and it would be hard to single out Santana.     

Five other men face gang assault charges in the case.
