Suffolk County Police Fifth Squad detectives arrested the operator of a dirt bike for criminal possession of a weapon following a motor vehicle crash that seriously injured him in Medford.
On August 10, Justin Criscione was operating an unregistered 2007 Honda CRF 150R dirt bike eastbound on Horseblock Road, without lights, when he crashed it into the front passenger side of a westbound 2014 BMW that was making a left turn into a Conoco gas station, located at 3000 Horseblock Road, at 8:29 p.m.
A patrol officer who responded to the scene was rendering aid to Criscione when he observed and recovered a loaded Glock from Criscione’s pocket.
Criscione, 24, of Farmingville, was placed into custody and transported to Stony Brook University Hospital by Medford Ambulance for treatment of serious injuries. He was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and seven counts of second-degree criminal contempt. He will be arraigned at a later date.
The driver of the BMW, Christopher Candelario, 49, of Shirley, was not injured.
