Craig Grasso

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -

Former BMX star Craig Grasso has been caught.

Last month, he fled on foot from police in Jericho. Grasso, who has a lengthy rap sheet, ran after he was pulled over for having a tail light out.

Police in Brooklyn, N.Y., arrested Grasso Thursday morning after an undercover drug detective spotted him. Grasso was allegedly in possession of crack cocaine. He is being held without bail in Brooklyn to face those drug charges before he heads back to Vermont to face more charges.
