WHEATFIELD, N.Y. — A man from Niagara Falls faces a long list of charges following a police pursuit in Niagara County Wednesday night.

The Niagara County Sheriff's Office says deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Lockport Road in the Town of Wheatfield after spotting a vehicle with an equipment violation. According to deputies, the driver pulled into a driveway on Ward Road, and a deputy activated his emergency lights.

Deputies say occupants who exited the vehicle got back in, and the driver reversed out of the driveway and almost hit the patrol car.
