After evaluation by a New York State Police Drug Recognition Expert, it is alleged Sanchez was under the influence of a narcotic and cannabis.





















He is charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs, unlawfully fleeing a police officer and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Sanchez was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in the Town of Stockton Court on a later date.
