A Greene County resident Szitter Zoltan, age 30, of Catskill, was arrested in Ulster County in Saugerties on Saturday, April 23.

Zolton was arrested after Saugerties Police responded to Route 212, where it was reported that he left the area after striking another vehicle he had attempted to pass in a no-passing zone, sideswiping the victim’s vehicle and sending it into oncoming traffic and nearly being struck by a third vehicle, said Chief Joseph Sinagra, of the Saugerties Police.

Once stopped, Zoltan was highly intoxicated, and arrested, the chief said.

During processing, Zoltan submitted to a chemical test which established his blood alcohol to be .23 percent or more than three times the legal limit, police said.

He was charged with:

DWI
Aggravated DWI
Leaving the scene of a crash
Driving without a license
Reckless driving

In addition to the above, he was also charged with various traffic violations for a total of 26 tickets.

Zoltan was arraigned and released by the court.
