Moments later, two Albany police officers spotted the stolen car speeding down Clinton Avenue. They turned their patrol car around to try and catch up to the car, but it had already crashed into a parked van and a fence at the intersection.

Colon was taken into custody without incident. He was arraigned in Albany City Criminal Court and sent to Albany County Jail.
