Suspect sought after police chase

Mar. 26—New York State Police are searching for a suspect that led troopers on a car chase through multiple counties early Tuesday morning, March 25.

Troopers identified the suspect as 29-year-old Bahji Green, describing him as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 6 feet tall and weighing about 145 pounds. He has addresses listed in Prattsville and the New York City area.

Green was last seen driving toward the village of Delhi in a silver Toyota minivan with New York license plate JBU7991.

Green fled the scene when Catskill troopers responded to reports of a domestic incident at a residence in the town of Halcott at around 5 a.m., according to Aga Dembinska, Troop C public information officer.

Margaretville troopers attempted to initiate a traffic stop when Green crossed into Delaware County on state Route 28 and began pursuit when he failed to comply, according to Dembinska.

When troopers ended the pursuit at around 5:30 a.m., police from the villages of Walton and Delhi set up a stationary roadblock at the intersection of county Route 2 and state Route 10 in Hamden, near the hamlet of DeLancey.

Green drove around the roadblock and toward a Walton police officer, who discharged his firearm toward the vehicle.

No injuries have been reported. It is unknown if the vehicle was struck by any bullets.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact New York State Police at Catskill at 518-622-8600.

The Mid-Hudson News reported in December 2019 that the Greene County Sheriff's Office arrested Green and a companion in Prattsville on charges of assault, unlawful imprisonment and child endangerment involving two children younger than 11 at the time.

  • Douglas Ross urges Unionists to 'rediscover Better Together spirit' from 2014 to stop SNP

    Douglas Ross has appealed to Unionists to deny the SNP a Holyrood majority by rediscovering the "Better Together spirit" of the 2014 independence referendum and voting tactically for the Scottish Tories. Launching his party's election campaign in Aberdeen, the Scottish Tory leader said a majority of Scots opposed Nicola Sturgeon's plan for another separation referendum in the near future but they had to unite instead of splitting their vote. He made a direct plea to Scots who would "never describe" themselves as Conservative or "have never voted for us before" to vote tactically for his party and stop the SNP trying to "divide our families and break up the UK." Mr Ross recalled how Unionist voters achieved this in the 2014 referendum by coalescing behind the victorious Better Together campaign and argued the same strategy should be adopted on May 6. Urging them to "come together again", he said the Conservatives were the "largest and strongest opposition party" behind which they could unite and his party's top priority was rebuilding from Covid. His plea came as Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, admitted his party was not "naturally comfortable Unionist", explaining that "constitutional politics is not what gets us out of bed in the morning."

  • Georgia lawmaker released after arrest during governor's signing of GOP voting restrictions

    Georgia State Rep. Park Cannon (D) was released on bond late Thursday after being arrested and forcibly removed from the Capitol for attempting to knock on the door of Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who was in the process of signing a sweeping GOP-sponsored bill to curb voting access.Why it matters: The video of Cannon's arrest went viral Thursday night, as Georgia again became ground zero for the national debate over voting rights.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free.The big picture: The bill Kemp signed is one of dozens of voting-rights rollbacks making their way through state GOP legislatures, an effort that President Biden on Thursday labeled "sick" and "un-American."The Georgia law imposes new ID requirements, limits the use of ballot drop boxes, and changes early voting hours, among other things. Kemp said at the signing that it will ensure Georgia’s elections are "secure, accessible and fair."Democrats in Congress have named the "For the People Act," a landmark piece of federal legislation that would expand voting rights, reduce money in politics and limit partisan gerrymandering, as a top priority to counter Republicans' voting restrictions, which some have likened to "Jim Crow in new clothes."The state of play: Cannon was charged with obstruction of law enforcement and disrupting a session of the Georgia General Assembly, after she knocked on Kemp's door and called on him to sign the bill in public.Sen. Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) visited Park in Fulton County jail after she was detained.“What we have witnessed today is a desperate attempt to lock out and squeeze the people out of their own democracy,” Warnock, who was elected to the Senate in January, said outside the jail. “We are going to take this fight to give the people their voices back.”What they're saying: "Hey everyone, thank you for your support. I’ve been released from jail. I am not the first Georgian to be arrested for fighting voter suppression. I’d love to say I’m the last, but we know that isn’t true," Cannon tweeted after midnight."But someday soon that last person will step out of jail for the last time and breathe a first breath knowing that no one will be jailed again for fighting for the right to vote."“Why are you arresting her?” This Facebook Live video from @TWareStevens shows the moment authorities detained state Rep. Park Cannon as @GovKemp was behind those doors signing elections restrictions into law. #gapol pic.twitter.com/U1xMJ6tZrY— Greg Bluestein (@bluestein) March 25, 2021 More from Axios: Sign up to get the latest market trends with Axios Markets.
