A Centereach man pleaded guilty to stabbing a Suffolk police officer back in 2021.

Police say the incident happened when officers tried to pull over Jonathan Nunez for driving erratically in Patchogue.

Following a high-speed chase, the 27-year-old crashed into a car and then tried to flee.

Nunez was eventually caught in a backyard where he stabbed the officer in a major artery in his leg.

He is expected to be sentenced to 16 years in prison.
