A man from Whitehall is accused of violating an order of protection and causing a disturbance at a home.
State troopers saw the car parked on the lawn of the home with its headlights pointed at the house late Saturday night.
Police say the driver, David Downing, was honking the horn repeatedly.
When the trooper got closer, police say he drove off. His car was later found in a ditch.
After that, state police say Downing went to the Whitehall Police Department to say someone stole his car. That s when he was taken into custody.
This is not Downing s first run in with police. As NewsChannel 13 first reported last month, he was accused of using Molotov cocktails to burn down the mailboxes of business associates.

Details of Anastasio s bust are contained in a supporting deposition from Andrew Mija, the Whitehall Police Department officer who nabbed the 42-year-old performer on December 15. As first reported by the Glens Falls Post-Star, the deposition, which was filed this week in court, notes that Anastasio told police that he had argued with his wife earlier in the day because he was taking pills and that he had a problem. A copy of Mija s deposition can be found below. Anastasio, who is pictured in the mug shot at right, is facing drug possession, DWI-drugs, and driving without a license charges. (1 page)

FAIRMONT â Residents listening in on the police scanner this week may have believed there was a mass tragedy taking place, but in reality, it was the sound of Fairmont State University holding active shooter training.
âBasically what we weâre doing was within our department,â said Matt Swain, chief of police at Fairmont State University. âSummertime is a better opportunity for our officers to train when thereâs not as many people on campus.â
