GUILDERLAND —  A Leandra’s Law arrest followed multiple 911 calls from Heritage Village Apartments of a woman screaming for help on Wednesday night.

“Callers indicated a man was attempting to forcibly drag the woman into a vehicle while also covering the mouth of a screaming child,” said a release from the Guilderland Police, which described events this way.

The calls started coming at about 10:28 p.m. on Oct. 8. The man had fled the scene by the time police arrived and when the police attempted a traffic stop, the suspect “accelerated away at a high rate of speed, refusing to comply,” the release said.

A police patrol car crashed while trying to stop the suspect; the suspect’s car was later found abandoned. The officer was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries.

Investigators then located Angelo J. Martegarcia, 33, of Guilderland, walking along the side of State Farm Road with a 10-year-old child.

Police “determined that the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute at the Heritage Village Apartments,” the release said. “The suspect had fled the scene with the child in the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.”

Martegarcia was charged with driving while intoxicated, first offense; aggravated driving while intoxicated, known as Leandra’s Law; first-degree reckless endangerment; endangering the welfare of a child; third-degree unlawful fleeting of a police officer in a motor vehicle; reckless driving; and numerous Vehicle and Traffic Law violations.

Martegarcia was arraigned in Guilderland Town Court on Oct. 9 and was released on his own recognizance.
