A police pursuit spanning Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties ended with the arrest of a New Jersey man on Thursday.

Dutchess County police say the sheriff's office was notified of the chase early that morning.

It was eventually called off near Pawling. However, a sheriff’s deputy found the vehicle stuck inside a snowbank in Dover not long after.

Investigators say the vehicle had been stolen and contained drugs.

The driver, now identified as 46-year-old Julio Pineda, was apprehended at the scene.

He was processed and released with an appearance ticket at a later date.
