Fugitive gave false ID during arrest

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- New Haven Police arrested a man on drug charges, only to find out he gave the officers a false identification.

Around 2 a.m. Wednesday, two officers saw a tan Lexus, a similar car that had been pursued earlier but got away. Officers were notified there may have been a gun in the car.

The officers pulled over the Lexus, asking the passenger to lower his window, but he didn't, either because it wouldn't lower or he wouldn't lower it, police reported.

Jose Gonzalez, 37, of Lenox Street got out of the car with his fists clenched and would not unclench them when the officer asked him to, police said. He tried getting back in the car yelling to the driver, "Let's go, let's go." Gonzalez was wrestled into handcuffs and the crack cocaine he had in his fist will be used as evidence at his trial, police said.

Gonzalez was charged with drug possession within fifteen hundred feet of a school and resisting arrest.

A female passenger was issued a summons for marijuana possession and the driver received an infraction for a traffic violation, police said.

When Gonzales got to NHPD detention facility, Officer Orlando Crespo didn't believe he was who he said he was. After investigation, Gonzales was in fact, Luis Alberto Albarran, also 37.

Albarran was a fugitive from justice. The Harrisburg, PA Board of Probation and Parole had a warrant for his arrest, so he will be extradited by Interstate Parole Services to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, police reported.
