Multiple charges lodged following Perry traffic stop

PERRY – A Warsaw motorist was jailed on drug and resisting arrest charges and two passengers in his vehicle were cited for marijuana infractions following a traffic stop on South Main Street here late Saturday that ended with a brief foot chase involving Wyoming County sheriff’s deputies and Perry police officers.

Kevin J. Snyder, 21, of Genesee Street, Warsaw, is being held on $5,000 cash bail.

After Snyder was stopped for a traffic infraction on South Main Street about 11:50 p.m. Saturday, he got out of his car but then tried to flee on foot, allegedly throwing down four Adderall pills before being captured down the block, police said. A quantity of marijuana and a scale were found in his coat.

Snyder is being held on criminal possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana, criminal use of drug paraphernalia, obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and unauthorized stickers on his car windows.

Issued appearance tickets by Perry police were two of Snyder’s four passengers, Justin T. Spencer, 18, of Warsaw for unlawful possession of marijuana and Brianna J. Bowles, 18, of Castile for underage possession of an alcoholic beverage.
