Police say they attempted to perform a traffic stop in the town of Addison on County Route 1. The operator of the vehicle, identified later as Stanton failed to stop and fled the scene.

The vehicle became disabled due to tire failure and was located along with the driver. Troopers say no children were hurt.

The charges will be answered at a later date.
