New York State Police remind drivers, crossing state lines won’t get you out of a ticket

  • October 15, 2025

KIRKWOOD, New York (WWNY) – New York State Police are reminding drivers that fleeing to another state to avoid getting a ticket is illegal and could result in even higher charges.

On Oct. 4, at approximately 5:45 a.m., a trooper observed a vehicle following another vehicle too closely on Interstate 81.

The vehicle then blew through stop signs at the bottom of the exit 1 off-ramp near State Route 11, and the intersection of the Conklin-Kirkwood Bridge.

The trooper attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver took off at a high rate of speed, continuing to violate traffic laws, and ultimately driving to the state of Pennsylvania.

With the help of the Pennsylvania State Police, troopers located the vehicle and identified the driver as Austin L. Darrow, 28, of New Milford.

Darrow turned himself in at the New York State Police Barracks in Binghamton, where he was arrested and charged with unlawful fleeing of a police officer.

Darrow was issued traffic tickets and is scheduled to appear in the Kirkwood Town Court on Nov. 5.
