AMHERST, N.Y. On Monday morning, around 7 a.m., a police chase led to the arrest of a stolen vehicle suspect who had allegedly attempted to evade police and threatened officers with a stun gun.
Amherst Police say the chase happened in the University Heights neighborhood. It started with police locating a stolen vehicle on Englewood.
Police say they allegedly saw 43-year-old Justin Poulsen standing in the door of the vehicle and gave him instructions, which he failed to follow.
This is when Poulsen attempted to flee and an officer took hold of him and got him to the ground, according to police. Poulsen allegedly tried to reach in his pockets, which prompted the officer to let go of him, as police say they had reports of Poulsen having handguns in the past.
