A Bay Shore man is facing multiple drug charges after resisting arrest during a traffic stop.
Police say they stopped Lester Franco, 29, in Bohemia on the Sunrise Highway last week on suspicion of DWI.
Instead of talking to officers, Franco resisted arrest and fled from the police.
They were able to track him down and take him into custody.
