WADDINGTON -- A Lisbon man was charged with drug possession after fleeing police in a motor vehicle May 20, according to St. Lawrence County sheriff's deputies.

Leslie J. George, 38, was charged with third-degree unlawfully fleeing a police officer, two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and several traffic and vehicle infractions, officers said.

Deputies allegedly attempted a traffic stop on CR 15 on a vehicle being operated by George and he failed to stop.

He continued fleeing until his care came to a rest on Flack Road, officers said. George was taken into custody at the scene.

Investigation reportedly revealed that George was in possession of methamphetamine and fentanyl, deputies said.

State police assisted with the incident.

George was cited and released.
