New York Man Arrested for DWI After Driving to Pick Up Friend at Sheriff’s Office

Deputies say he arrived with a license already revoked for an earlier DWI.

Overview

  • Deputies say the 25-year-old, who arrived Saturday at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, drove into a restricted area and drew an officer’s attention.
  • After a deputy suspected impairment, field sobriety tests were given and he was arrested on accusations of driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.
  • A DMV check showed his New York license had been revoked for a prior DWI conviction and for refusing a chemical test used to measure intoxication.
  • He now faces DWI, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher, and an unlicensed-operator infraction, and he was released the same day with an appearance ticket for Glen Town Court.
  • In New York, aggravated unlicensed operation is charged when someone drives after a license revocation, which often follows earlier DWI-related actions.
