After being ordered to stay in his car, Matthew Garneau allegedly took off running. He was taken into custody and charged with obstruction of governmental administration and resisting arrest. A further investigation turned up several items of drug paraphernalia in the car. Coupled with positive drug screen tests, Garneau was also charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, and criminally using drug paraphernalia.
The 23-year-old Garneau was released on an appearance ticket for Seneca Falls Town Court.
