Drunk Drivers Do It Again

Those crazy wacky drunk drivers are at it again. Since today is the beginning of the week here in Glens Falls, I usually like to give honorable mention to the first drunk drivers of the week. And it just so happens there were two arrested for DWI again this week.

First up we have Meagan A. Wells, 22, of Regency Park North, Queensbury who was arrested at approximately 2:45am today by Glens Falls Police Officer Tony Lydon who caught her veering out of her lane at the intersections of South St. and Broad. She had a whopping BAC of .09 percent. If she'd just waited a few minutes longer, for her BAC to drop below .08 she might have been charged with felony DWI. She was also ticketed for improper lane usage, of course, we can't overlook that, and she was released on her own recognizance.

Next up we have Harold R. Clothier Jr., 39, of 16 Rabideau Lane, Hudson Falls who was arrested at 4:15 a.m. today also by Tony Lydon who spotted him driving through the intersection of Warren and Glen streets, the heart of Glens Falls, without his headlights on. With all the damn fog last night, headlights didn't make much difference anyway, on or off. His BAC was .13 percent and he also was charged with the misdemeanor of third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, and was released on $100 bail.

I guess they don't want to keep drunk drivers in jail, they just want their drivers licenses suspended.
