PEOPLE v. McMILLAN

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that the People failed to produce sufficient evidence to support his conviction for reckless endangerment in the first degree (Penal Law § 120.25). We disagree. On July 3, 1984, defendant illegally entered an automobile and led a police car on a chase through the downtown area at speeds in excess of the speed limit. Defendant drove down Main Street, which was closed to nonemergency vehicles, sending pedestrians scurrying from his path. He then drove down another major thoroughfare during rush hour, straddling the median and running several red lights. These facts amply support the jury's verdict (see, People v. Legendre, 134 A.D.2d 525, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 957; see also, People v Gomez, 104 A.D.2d 303, affd 65 N.Y.2d 9; People v. Graves, 131 A.D.2d 506). We have examined defendant's other contention, and we find it to be without merit.
