In late April, when an officer attempted a traffic stop on a man suspected of dealing methamphetamine in Greene County, the man refused to stop and fled in his vehicle. When he encountered a couple of state troopers, he rammed into one of their vehicles before driving through a yard and crashing into someone’s porch. He got out and ran, but was apprehended by a trooper in pursuit. He was booked in to the Greene County Jail in late April and he’s still there – his bond is set at $100,000 surety with ten percent allowed. It would take $10,000 cash to bond out.
