An officer pulled over 22-year Jaquan Joas as he drove a 1990 Mercedes Benz in Brentwood Thursday for failing to signal.
That's when police say Joas initially gave a fake name and ran away.
Police arrested him after a brief chase.
Joas, of Copiague, was charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation 1st Degree, Resisting Arrest, False Personation and Criminal Possession of Marijuana 5th Degree.
