A motorcyclist who led police on a chase down the Northway last year, with two packages of cocaine strapped to himself, was found guilty in absentia on several charges last week, according to the county District Attorney’s Office. On April 23, 2014, State Police observed Bronx resident Carlos Sued, 37, driving a 2011 Yamaha motorcycle more than 80 mph while heading northbound on I-87 in Ulster County. Sued initially pulled for police, but then sped off, weaving in and out of traffic, narrowly missing other vehicles, according to police. He reached speeds exceeding 130 mph. Sued continued driving north on the Thruway until he attempted to make a U-turn and lost control of his motorcycle in the Town of Bethlehem. Police said he then attempted to flee on-foot, but was apprehended nearby without incident. Police found two packages strapped to Sued’s abdomen, which contained nearly 725 grams, or about 1.5 pounds, of cocaine. The jury trail against Sued began Monday, March 16, in Albany County Court, but Sued did not appear and was found guilty in absentia. He had previously posted $100,000 bail. Jurors “promptly” retuned guilty verdicts on all counts on Wednesday, March 18, according to prosecutors. Sued was found guilty of the felony charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and reckless endangerment in the first degree; the misdemeanor charges of unlawfully fleeing a police officer in the third degree, resisting arrest, and reckless driving; and the traffic infraction of failure to obey a police officer. A sentenced date will be scheduled after Sued is brought back into custody. He faces eight to 20 years in state prison.
