A Richmond man is facing charges after allegedly trying to flee deputies during a DWI arrest on Sunday night.
According to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, 37-year-old Rick A. Desimone II was arrested on November 16 after deputies responded to multiple 911 calls about a disturbance on Reed Road in the Town of Richmond.
Deputies say Desimone had driven to a residence while intoxicated. After conducting a series of field sobriety tests, officers attempted to take him into custody. That’s when Desimone allegedly tried to run but was caught a short distance away.
He was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest. Desimone was processed and released with traffic tickets and an appearance ticket. He is scheduled to appear in Richmond Town Court at a later date.
