Suffolk County police impounded a vehicle in Shirley that was wanted for unlawful fleeing from a car meet that occurred in Hauppauge.
On March 15 at approximately 9 p.m., members of the Street Takeover Task Force attempted to pull over a 2015 BMW M3 as it fled from the car meet — which took place at the intersection of Motor Parkway at Joshua’s Path — in a reckless manner. The driver of the BMW turned off the vehicle’s lights and accelerated through multiple traffic signals while evading police.
An officer from the Task Force located the vehicle traveling northbound on William Floyd Parkway in Shirley and successfully pulled it over on March 16 at 11:15 p.m. The driver, Clyde Jean Baptiste, 23, of Mastic Beach, was issued multiple Vehicle and Traffic Law citations and the vehicle was impounded as evidence of unlawful fleeing from the previous night’s incident.
