Kris Swenson, of Pomona, was arrested around 3:21 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 29, after police responded to a report of a crash on Main Street in the Village of Nyack, said Orangetown Police Sgt. Joseph Sullivan.

When officers arrived on the scene they found that a black Toyota Corolla appeared to have struck a park and unoccupied red Honda Accord, Sullivan said.

Officers identified the driver of the Toyota as Swenson and determined that he was allegedly driving drunk, Sullivan said.

He was charged with DWI and aggravated DWI and released on an appearance ticket.

Swenson is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 16, 2020.
