Following police chase, Oxford man held without bail, one trooper sent to hospital
GREENE – A New York State Trooper was sent to the hospital following a short police chase with an Oxford man.
Damion J. Burns, 42, of Oxford, was arrested on August 28, 2015.
Burns was observed by members of the New York State Police in Norwich speeding in his vehicle on Route 12 in Greene. The simple traffic stop evolved into a police chase, however, only lasting for one minute and covering the distance of one mile, before the officer was able to actually pull Burns’ vehicle over, ending the chase.
There were no injuries resulting from the police chase itself, however, the New York State Trooper’s patrol vehicle was damaged by the defendant’s actions at the end of the pursuit.
While attempting to take Burns into custody, a member of the New York State Troopers in Norwich was injured and subsequently transported to Wilson Hospital where he was treated and released for injuries. It is unclear how severe these injuries were.
During the arrest Burns refused to submit to a breathalyzer test and was also found to unlawfully possess a small amount of marijuana and cocaine.
Burns was charged with assault in the second degree, a felony; driving while intoxicated, a felony; aggravated unlicensed operation in the first degree, a felony; unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle in the third degree, a misdemeanor; reckless endangerment in the second degree, a misdemeanor; resisting arrest, a misdemeanor; criminal mischief in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor; criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a misdemeanor; unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation; as well as numerous other traffic infractions.
This DWI arrest was turned into a felony crime due to the fact that Burns has had a prior conviction in the last 10 years.
Burns was arraigned in the City of Norwich Court and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility with no bail set at this time.
