He was charged with Obstruction of Governmental Administration in the 2nd Degree and Unlawfully Fleeing a Police Officer in the 3rd Degree, both Class A misdemeanors. Authorities also issued him numerous traffic citations.
Carter was released on an appearance ticket and is scheduled to return to court at a later date.
