On February 1, 2019, at approximately 12:10 a.m., Troopers conducted a vehicle and traffic stop on a BMW traveling on State Route 9H in the town of Claverack. During interview of the occupants it was discovered the front and rear plates did not match, and the registration listed a third license plate number. Further investigation found Worley provided a false name to avoid association with an active arrest warrant. While being processed at SP Livingston Worley became combative striking and biting Troopers.
Michael Worley was arraigned before the town of Claverack Court, and remanded to the Columbia County Jail without bail. He is scheduled to reappear before the Court on February 19, 2019, at 6:30 p.m.
