Teen Leads Police On A High Speed Chase Through Coeymans

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple says that a Coeymans man was arrested on felony charges after a vehicle pursuit.

According to The Albany County Sheriff’s Office, 18-year-old Kenneth Roldan – Rosario was driving a stolen 2019 Jeep Cherokee around 11:36 a.m. when officers attempted to stop him.

Mr. Roldan-Rosario refused to stop for the officers and led them on a chase that began in Coeymans, went into Greene County, and then back into Coeymans. Mr. Roldan-Rosario eventually crashed into a vehicle in the area of Westerlo and Main Streets. He then reversed the vehicle and crashed into the pursuing deputies’ car, fled onto River View Drive at the dead-end where he was taken into custody without further incident.

Kenneth Roldán-Rosario was charged with Multiple Vehicle and Traffic Law Violations; Grand Larceny in the third degree (a class D felony); Unlawful Possession of Marijuana (a class A violation); Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the third-degree (A class D felony); Obstruction of Governmental Administration (a class A misdemeanor); Reckless Driving (an unclassified misdemeanor); Reckless Endangerment in the second degree (a class A misdemeanor); three counts of Criminal Mischief in the fourth-degree (a class A misdemeanor) and Unlawful Fleeing a Police Officer in the third-degree (a class A misdemeanor).

Mr. Roldan-Rosario will be arraigned in the Coeymans Town Court.

This is not Mr. Roldan–Rosario‘s first run-in with law-enforcement. He was arrested earlier in the year, on February 17, 2020, in connection with a rash of vehicles that were broken into on Harmony Street in Osceola County while he was still a juvenile. Hopefully, Mr. Roldan-Rosario will turn his life around before he gets into more serious trouble.
