What this means

New York State Police arrested Terrence McNair, 31, of Garner, North Carolina, after an early-morning pursuit on the Palisades Interstate Parkway on October 8. Police allege that McNair failed to stop a 2021 Audi Q5, led troopers on a roughly four-mile high-speed pursuit and struck a guardrail; he was charged with fleeing an officer and aggravated unlicensed operation. He was directed to appear in Orangetown Town Court at 9 a.m. October 20 and was lodged in Westchester County Jail pending extradition on separate warrants. The charges are allegations and do not constitute a conviction.
