Police in Orange County pulled over a 2019 Acura TL for a traffic violation on Washington Street in Newburgh at about 4:45 a.m. on Saturday, April 30, according to New York State Police.
The driver, identified as Nicholas Palm, of Newburgh, was found to be impaired by alcohol, and he was charged with driving while intoxicated, police said.
