Maglone was charged after fleeing officers at Capaha Park and driving a truck in reverse on Perry Avenue, where he damaged a street sign. Maglone also caused damaged to Ken's Cape Cleaners on Broadway and to numerous parked vehicles.
Two additional charges -- first-degree burglary and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident -- were dismissed in exchange for Maglone's plea on the other charges.
