GREECE — A 20-year-old Greece man was arrested Sept. 29 following a vehicle pursuit that began with reports of a suspicious person checking vehicles and ended with multiple felony charges.
Jamill M. Wallace was taken into custody after fleeing from police in a stolen 2023 Honda Accord valued at $28,000, according to the Greece Police Department.
Officers responded at approximately 12:41 p.m. to the area of Forgham Road and Stonecliff Drive for a report of a suspicious male checking vehicles.

The stolen Honda sustained approximately $2,000 in damage and was towed to the Greece Police Department’s impound lot.
Additional property damage included a portable restroom and a wooden guardrail.
No officers or community members were injured during the pursuit.
Wallace was charged with attempted aggravated assault on a police officer, reckless endangerment in the first degree, grand larceny in the third degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree, unauthorized use of a vehicle in the first degree, unlawful fleeing a police officer in the third degree, criminal mischief in the second and fourth degrees, reckless driving, resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.
