On Thursday around 7:15 p.m., officers from the Town of East Fishkill Police Department were dispatched to an address on Woodcrest Drive for the report of a man who was walking around the complainant's driveway, punching the ground and hitting his head on the ground.

Responding officers were told the man fled in a white SUV. Shortly after, the vehicle was found on Carpenter Road.

Police allege the driver, 39-year-old of Carmel, was the person the caller complained about and was driving with a suspended New York State Driver's License.

After being taken into custody, police found a clear plastic Ziploc bag containing a crystal-like substance that tested positive for Crystal Methamphetamine and a tan powdery substance that tested positive for the presence of heroin.

He was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminally possessing a hypodermic instrument and aggravated unlicensed operation.

He remanded to Dutchess County Jail, with no bail, pending a future court date.
