Police: Troy Man Arrested with Almost a Kilo of Cocaine in Car
A Rensselaer County man is facing multiple charges following a traffic stop.
New York State Police say 48-year-old Samuel L. Robinson of Troy was driving onto the New York State Thruway from State Route 9 in Albany on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 when troopers stopped him for an alleged traffic violation. During the stop the NYSP says "Robinson attempted to flee the scene on foot and was taken into custody after a brief struggle." Police say they then found that Robinson was in possession of approximately 920 grams of cocaine and a digital scale.
He was arrested by troopers assigned to the Troop G Community Stabilization Unit. He now faces the following charges:
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 1st Degree (Class A felony)
- Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 3rd Degree with Intent to Sell (Class B felony)
- Obstruction of Governmental Administration in the 2nd Degree (Class A misdemeanor)
- Resisting Arrest (Class A misdemeanor)
Robinson was brought to the State Police barracks in Latham and subsequently arraigned in Albany City Court. He was sent to the Albany County Jail pending a court appearance to answer the charges.
No other drivers were involved and no injuries were reported immediately following the arrest.
