BRUNSWICK - A passenger in a car stopped during a road safety check Friday night on Pawling Avenue dashed away after striking a state trooper and later fought more troopers, injuring one, as he was being arrested, State Police said.

Tashon Robertson, 27, of Troy, who police said made furtive movements during the stop, also allegedly had MDMA and drug paraphernalia. He ran off after the car he was riding in tried to avoid the road check and drove down the dead-end Lakeview Avenue.

Robertson was charged with felonies of criminal possession of a controlled substance and assault, and misdemeanors of resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, possession of a controlled substance and bail jumping. Robertson had a felony warrant for criminal contempt from the Schenectady Police Department.

In a separate incident, Nicholas Ragone, 37, of Troy was charged with felony criminal possession of a controlled substance after more than 2 grams of crack cocaine were found when Ragone, the driver, entered the road check, troopers said.

Ragone and Robertson were arraigned and jailed with future court dates in Brunswick Town Court.
