A traffic stop in Poughkeepsie ended in a short chase and an arrest for drugs and an illegal handgun.

State police say they found drugs and a stolen handgun in Shamar Parker’s car.

The Poughkeepsie man was pulled over Monday on Main Street, but troopers say he took off and sideswiped a car.

Parker was eventually taken into custody.

He is facing drug, weapons and reckless endangerment charges.
