Faulty license plate light leads to foot chase, arrest

Michael Conrad

ROCHESTER - A city man led police on a brief foot chase on Thursday after police pulled him over for a faulty license plate light.

Michael Conrad, 37, ran from his car in the parking lot of the Stop N Go Deli on Route 125 around 8:15 p.m. after police pulled him over.

With the help of a K9 unit, police caught up with Conrad a half hour later on Old Dover Road, according to a Northeast Fire Alerts website.

Conrad told police he fled due to an outstanding bench warrant from another town.

He was charged with two misdemeanors - disobeying an officer and resisting detention - as well as driving after suspension and driving without proof of insurance.
