The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Phillip Sadler of Buffalo, remains in police custody in lieu of $40,000 bail. Sadler is charged with fleeing police and receiving stolen property.
According to the criminal complaint, police were checking for stolen vehicles when they came upon a red truck and noticed the license plate didn’t match the vehicle.
