Har- ris, after an eight-hour standoff, as deputies lobbed tear gas into his Krumkill Road home. Harris, 44, was wanted for nine warrants in Florida, stem- ming from an arrest gone awry nearly a year ago. Harris was stopped by the Florida Highway Patrol on Jan. 7, 2006 for \unlawful speed,\ heading south on Interstate 95 in Indian River County, Captain Deryl Loar of the Florida High- way Patrol told The Enterprise this week. Harris was racing another ve- hicle and traveling 101 miles per hour, he said. Harris argued with the trooper who stopped him, ac- cording to Loar, and, as the trooper was reaching into Har- ris's car to turn the engine off, Harris fled, dislocating, the trooper's shoulder as he sped off, he said. The incident report, however, says only that the trooper sus- tained \a small scratch\ on his right arm. \He fled violently...He was successful in eluding us,\ Loar said. Fleeing an officer is a fel- ony in Florida, said Loar. Harris was driving a 2006 black Dodge Magnum, the same car he was driving on Jan. 4 when the Colonie Police ran a plate check, he said. \We believe he was trans- porting illegal substances,\ Loar said about what may have prompted Harris to flee the scene. Two troopers tried to get Har- ris out of his vehicle, the Florida incident report says. He had two children in the wagon - a male in the front pas- senger seat appeared to be about 10 to 12 years old, and a female passenger in the back seat ap- peared to be 6 to 8 years old, Loar said. \We presume it was his kids,\ Loar said. \He was endangering their lives, racing down the highway.\. The man racing Harris was arrested and secured in the back of the patrol car, the report says. The trooper told the boy in the front seat of Harris's Dodge to get out of the vehicle, the report says, and \Mr. Harris told the boy, don't get out of the car.\ Harr|s. r|f^ed to get out of the car himself and kept saying he \had a disability,\ the report says. \Mr. Harris tried to close my right hand in the door... I stopped the door from closing and informed Mr. Harris that he tried to close my hand in the door. Mr. Harris said he was sorry,\ the report says. The trooper sustained \a small scratch on my right arm close to my wrist,\ the report says. The report goes on to say that (Continued on page 11) Water for sale? Scotch Pine residents see hazard in golf course plan By Saranac Hale Spencer VOORHEESVILLE — Con- struction of 42 new houses just outside of the village hinges on whether the board will grant them water, A workshop meeting Tuesday night at village hall drew con- cerned residents, many of them from the decades-old Scotch Pine development, neighboring the proposed project. Many of them had signed a petition requesting a. 50-foot buffer zone between .their houses oh Locust Drive and. \< the proposed Colonie Country Club Estates before the village would grant the water, Michael Carifora, a Locust Drive resi- dent, presented the petition to the board in August. Amedore Homes, the devel- oper planning the houses, has included a 50-foot no- disturbance area between its proposed houses and those on Locust Drive. \The applicant is trying to make a reasonable ef- fort to accommodate everyone involved,\ said Keith Menia, a civil engineer with Vollmer As- sociates, when he presented a map that laid out the tentative plan for the development.
