Schenectady Man Charged After Thruway Stop | Albany News

A Schenectady man, Careem Tillman, got himself in major trouble on the New York State Thruway after cops pulled him over for traffic violations at 2:30 AM. Suspicious behavior and failed sobriety tests led to a search of his Honda Civic, where officers found a loaded handgun with an illegal magazine. Now facing multiple serious charges—including criminal possession of a weapon twice and driving while intoxicated—Tillman was jailed without bail after his court appearance. This isn’t his first DWI, but it’s his first time charged with this specific offense. A cautionary tale about responsibility behind the wheel and the dangers of carrying illegal weapons.
