Three Waterbury men have been arrested by New York State police after Troopers attempted to stop a stolen car on Interstate 684.  The driver failed to comply and led Troopers on a pursuit Saturday morning to Exit 9 for I-84.  A stop stick was deployed, disabling the vehicle.  All three fled on foot. 

A Putnam County Sheriff’s Bloodhound was able to track the men and they were taken into custody without further incident. 

19-year old Josiah Eleby was found in illegal  possession of a 9MM Glock 43 handgun.  He was charged with 2 counts of criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm.  21-year old Ervin Barr was charged with criminal possession of stolen property.  The pair, along with 20-year old Shadeed Turner were each charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration. 

Turner was released for a court appearance in Southeast on October 4th.  Barr was arraigned and released.  Eleby was held at Putnam County Jail on bond.  Both are scheduled to reappear before the court on October 11th.
