A disbarred Brooklyn lawyer faces larceny charges for the theft of nearly $1.5 million from two clients following his arrest this week in upstate Dutchess County.

Robert Fontanelli, 48, was “nervous and impatient” when stopped by troopers on the Taconic State Parkway Tuesday for having an expired inspection sticker on his vehicle and suddenly tried to flee, according to state police. He was run down by troopers a short distance away and charged with resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.
