Staten Island
A driver was busted in Old Town after trying to flee from police, authorities said.
A detective tried to pull over Luan Husic, 20, for driving recklessly, but Husic ignored him and made a U-turn on McClean Avenue near Lampert Boulevard, court papers claim.
He then blew through a red light and three stop signs, authorities said.
When police arrested him on the corner of Old Town Road and Albright Street, he refused to exit his car and tried putting his hands under him to avoid being cuffed, the records say.
Then, when police finally subdued him, they searched his vehicle and allegedly found painkillers.
Husic was charged with reckless driving, unlawful fleeing of a police officer in a motor vehicle, resisting arrest, and criminal possession of a controlled substance, a spokesman for DA Dan Donovan said.
