Alfred man faces a bevy of charges after a high speed crash on State Route 244

An Alfred man faces a slew of charges after he allegedly blew past a radar checkpoint in Alfred, traveling at 80 mph per or more. It happened late Saturday night on State Route 244 in the village of Alfred. Police Chief Paul Griffith said 39-year-old Justin Snyder of Jericho Hill Road went by police at a high rate of speed. The patrol attempted to catch the 2003 Pathfinder. When they did, they found the vehicle had crashed at Five Corners. Chief Griffith said the impact removed about fifty feet of guard rail. Snyder then fled the scene. Alfred police, University police, Andover police and State Troopers all responded. Police said Snyder was found at his residence about 45 minutes later. He was uninjured. He was charged with DWI, BAC above .08% unlawful fleeing a police officer, reckless driving, unsafe turn, no signal, leaving the scene of a crash, speeding and failure to keep right. He’ll answer the charges in court at a later date.
