As part of the STOP-DWI crackdown, New York State Police troopers busted several motorists for driving while intoxicated as they attempt to stop motorists from drinking and driving in the area.
Local residents charged include:
- On Monday, June 11, State Police from Middletown arrested Gladys Jean-Baptiste, 61, of Middletown, for DWI. She was traveling on Route 302 in Wallkill when she was stopped for a vehicle and traffic law violation. An investigation during the subsequent traffic stop determined that she was allegedly impaired by alcohol and she was subsequently arrested.
- On Monday, June 11, State Police from Coxsackie arrested Timothy Henion, 26, of Beacon, for DWI. He was traveling on Route 23 in Catskill when he was stopped for a vehicle and traffic law violation.
