On Tuesday afternoon, a known criminal was seriously hurt in an accident when trying to escape from authorities.
According to police, 25 year old Andrew “Moe” Parra was a known drug dealer with a long criminal history and he had an outstanding warrant on narcotics charges. He was seen in an area known for drug activity and was followed by undercover narcotics officers to a home in Franklin Street. Officers tried to stop him when he came out, but he got into his car and sped off, with several police cars in pursuit. Parra refused to stop, instead he increased speed and after about 15 minutes the police called off the chase. Then State Police told them Parra had crashed some three miles away on Route 7 northbound. No other vehicles were involved.
Parra was taken to Danbury Hospital with serious injuries and was later transferred to Westchester Medical Center. He now will be charged with operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, engaging police in a pursuit and reckless driving.
