A man who portrays a steroid dealer in "The Wrestler" has been taken into custody by federal drug task force agents after a brief car chase in the New York suburbs.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Erin Mulvey confirmed that actor Scott Siegel was arrested in Eastchester, but said charges were pending. She said further details would be released Thursday.
Authorities say Siegel was arrested after leading police and federal agents on a pursuit through the Westchester County suburbs shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday. They say the 34-year-old suspect rammed his car into an Eastchester police cruiser. He later abandoned the car, and was caught on foot.
There was no phone listing for the New Rochelle resident.
