Police say a woman has her friend to thank after he apprehended the man - a level 3 sex offender - who broke into her car until police could take him into custody. 

Police say they responded to a call around 3:30 Saturday morning at the Guzzling Goose Bar in Endicott.
 
They say 35-year-old David Stacconi Jr. allegedly broke into a woman's car, hid in there, then tried to flee the scene when the woman entered her car.  Police say a friend held Stacconi until police arrived. A deputy used his taser to stop Stacconi after the suspect took police on a foot chase.  Police say Stacconi was in possession of a box cutter and had to receive medical treatment for injuries related to a previous altercation. 

Stacconi is charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal  mischief and resisting arrest. He is in the Broome County Jail.
