EASTCHESTER, N.Y. --A New Rochelle woman was arrested last Wednesday and charged with driving while intoxicated.
Caterina Amorosano, 47, Faneuil Place, New Rochelle was stopped at a routine safety check conducted August 10 at 7:30 p.m. at on Labelle Road.
Amorosano was asked to pull over when officers spotted an expired inspection sticker. Officers noticed Amorosano was slurring her speech and they detected a strong odor of alcohol. An open, half full bottle of beer was also spotted in the vehicle.
Amorosano was placed under arrest when it was determined she was driving with a revoked license. At the police station, Amorosano failed the field sobriety test. She was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation, and felony DWI. A person can only be charged with felony DWI when they have a previous DWI conviction within a 10-year period.
Amorosano was remanded to Westchester County Jail and is due back to Eastchester Town Court today.
Meanwhile, a Hopewell Junction man was injured and arrested in a DWI arrest early Sunday morning.
Police responded to a motor vehicle accident on Aug. 14 at 2:36 a.m. on White Plains Road in front of Faucet Works, just south of Fisher Avenue.
Ryan Morris, 25, of Dew Drop Lane, Hopewell Junction was taken by Eastchester Volunteer Ambulance Corps to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla for his injuries. He struck a sign, then a utility pole.
He was arrested there and charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle and misdemeanor DWI. He was released on his own recognizance due to significant injuries sustained in the accident, and is due in court today.
