Frederick Mann, 31, was arrested after he attempted to flee when Sgt. Neil Stuart with the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office attempted to stop him around 2:15 a.m. on Washington Street in the City of Poughkeepsie, said Capt. John Watterson.

Following a brief pursuit, Mann stopped and was taken into custody. Once stopped, an investigation revealed he was intoxicated and he was driving on a suspended license from a prior DWI within the past 10 years, Watterson added.

In addition, Mann was operating a vehicle without an interlock device, Watterson said.

He was charged with felony DWI; aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle; operating a vehicle without an interlock device; fleeing a police officer, and various traffic violations.

He is being held at the Dutchess County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond.
