SCHUYLERVILLE – A Schenectady man nearly hit two Saratoga County Sheriff’s deputies with his car while fleeing the scene of a domestic incident in Schuylerville Monday evening, Saratoga County Sheriff’s officials said.
One deputy tried to take him into custody after a traffic stop and he drove off with the deputy partially inside the vehicle, officials said.
No injuries were reported.
Wayne A. Rice, 43, of Schenectady, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, felonies.
