A Somerset man who initially resisted a traffic stop has been sentenced to three years probation for first-degree Wanton Endangerment of a Police Officer.
Mariano A. Mez, 41, pleaded guilty to the charge through the Rocket Docket program and was sentenced on April 22 after being arrested in the early morning hours of March 23.
According to his citation, Mez was driving north on Monticello Street in a 2012 Ford Focus when Somerset Police Officer Cameron Claunch ran the tag and discovered that Mez registration had been canceled for failure to maintain insurance.
When Ofc. Claunch activated his emergency lights in an attempt to conduct a traffic stop just north of the First Church of God of Somerset, Mez continued driving turning right onto Murphy Avenue then left onto Griffin Avenue before ultimately stopping.
