Man Arrested After Pursuit Due in Court

Wallace Cain was arrested on assault, drug charges.

Wallace C. Cain, the man arrested Dec.26 after a chase that began in New Hyde Park, is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

Officers on patrol saw Cain, 27, operating a 2009 Honda Accord with dark-tinted windows on Jericho Turnpike in New Hyde Park.  When they attempted to stop him, the car continued into Floral Park until reaching a dead end on Flower Avenue. Cain then fled on foot but he was caught by officers soon after on Plainfield Avenue, police said, and that while attempting to arrest him, he fought with the officers, injuring the right hand and elbow of one officer.

Police said they found numerous small wax bags of heroin on him.
