Police: Drunk Driver Rams Police Car, Flees in Commack

An Amityville man faces multiple charges–including a felony DWI charge–after police say he rammed a police car during a traffic stop in Commack and then fled the scene early Saturday.

According to police, a Fourth Precinct sergeant initiated a traffic stop of a 2008 Toyota Avalon in a parking lot on Route 25 and Kings Park Road shortly after 4 a.m.

When the officer stepped out of his vehicle, the driver of the Toyota, 26-year-old Wymann Wiggins, backed into the police car several times before fleeing the scene, police said.

The suspect was located a short time later again on Route 25 in Commack and officers attempted to pull Wiggins over, but he fled once again, police said.

Officers deployed stop sticks on Route 25 and Manor Road, puncturing the tires on Wiggins’ vehicle, police said.

A short time later, Wiggins crashed on Longfellow Drive in Huntington Station, police said.

Wiggins fled on foot and was arrested by Second Precinct Officer Justin Holloway following a foot pursuit, police said.

Wiggins is charged with felony DWI, unlawful fleeing a police officer, leaving the scene of an accident, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, three counts of seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled Substance and one count of fourth degree criminal possession of controlled substance.

Wiggins was held overnight and is scheduled for arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday.
