A Jamaican man who was previously deported from the United States for drug possession was held with two pounds of marijuana in Long Island, New York, according to a report in the Long Island Press.
New York State Troopers said a man was arrested following a two-mile police chase on the Southern State Parkway on Monday night.
Troopers stopped a westbound Nissan Maxima for swerving in Lindenhurst near Wellwood Avenue, Exit 35, but the driver, identified as Clive Ruddock, fled the scene and tossed marijuana from the moving vehicle at 8:41 pm, police said.
The Maxima struck the patrol car before the 46-year-old Wyandanch man lost control of the car and came to a stop on the parkway shoulder in North Massapequa near Bethpage Parkway, police said.
Ruddock was apprehended following a brief foot pursuit and found to have two pounds of marijuana and a forged social security card in the car, police said.
He was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, possession of a forged instrument, criminal mischief, tampering with physical evidence, fleeing a police officer, resisting arrest and traffic violations.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Central Islip.
Police said Ruddock was previously deported from New York to Jamaica and re-entered the US illegally after a prior felony conviction for marijuana possession.
