A Sheriff’s Deputy stopped Danbury resident Ronald Rodas-Loor, 22, shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 19 on Route 22 in Southeast, when he was spotted committing a violation. During the stop, while speaking with Rodas-Loor, it was determined that he was allegedly intoxicated and he was arrested.

Rodas-Loor was charged with driving while intoxicated and driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol content greater than .08 percent at the Putnam County Correctional Facility. He was then released on his own recognizance.

A passenger in the car, Danbury resident Cyndi Chabla, 22, allegedly refused to comply with the Sheriff Deputy’s instructions, and in the struggle, she struck a Sergeant who was assisting the Deputy at the scene.

Both Rodas-Loor and Chabla are due to appear in the Town of Southeast Justice Court to answer the charges at a later date to answer the charges.
