PENDLETON – On November 4, 2023 at 0152 hours, Patrol attempted to initiate a Traffic Stop in the 4700 block of Tonawanda Creek Road for Speed. A white BMW sedan was observed traveling 91 MPH in the 45 MPH zone.

Patrols could not safely catch up to the vehicle and the area was checked. Shortly thereafter, the vehicle was again located at the intersection of Campbell Blvd and Lockport Road when a second traffic stop was attempted. A vehicle pursuit ensued through the Towns of Pendleton, Cambria and Lewiston.

The pursuit was terminated multiple times due to excessive speed, however Law Enforcement countywide worked together to locate the vehicle and ultimately a tire deflation device was successfully deployed by Lewiston Police at Saunders Settlement Road and Miller Road.

Daniel D. Ganko, a 20-year-old male from Ontario, Canada is being held for arraignment on charges of Fleeing an Officer in a Motor Vehicle 3rd (Misdemeanor), Resisting Arrest (Misdemeanor), Reckless Driving (Misdemeanor) and numerous VTL violations. ###
