Suffolk County Police arrested a Ronkonkoma man on July 29 for allegedly stealing a car, assaulting a police officer and attempting to steal a marked police vehicle.

A 45-year-old man was driving a 2021 Chevrolet Equinox on School Street in Ronkonkoma when William Gilmartin jumped onto the hood of the vehicle at 7:11 a.m. During a verbal altercation between the two men during which the victim exited the Chevrolet, Gilmartin jumped into the driver-side door and drove away. The owner of the vehicle held onto the driver’s side door and was dragged for more than one block before being thrown off the vehicle.

Following an investigation, Fourth Precinct officers located the vehicle at Gilmartin’s home on Arlington Road. Gilmartin was observed attempting to leave the scene in a black 2005 Nissan Altima that became disabled. While officers were attempting to place Gilmartin under arrest, Gilmartin punched a Fourth Precinct sergeant in the face and fled on foot.

Gilmartin entered a marked police patrol vehicle in an attempt to steal the police car when another officer opened the door and deployed a Taser, taking him into custody.

The owner of the Chevrolet and the sergeant were both transported to area hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Gilmartin was taken to an area hospital for treatment before being transported to the Fourth Precinct.

Gilmartin, 31, was charged with Robbery 2nd Degree, Grand Larceny 3rd Degree, Attempted Grand Larceny 3rd Degree, Reckless Endangerment 1st Degree, Assault 2nd Degree on a Police Officer, and two counts of Resisting Arrest.
