Scarsdale Police Log: DWI Arrest, Car Fire And Stolen Advil

Lost And Driving While Intoxicated

A Dobbs Ferry man was arrested on June 30 on Fountain Terrace. Police found the driver on the dead end street after he struck a street sign while attempting to find his way home to Dobbs Ferry. His car had become stuck on the edge of the road, damaging his front tire and bumper, according to SPD. The driver had trouble keeping his balance and SPD questioned him.

The driver told SPD that he "consumed two vodka and cranberry juice (drinks) while at Hudson Grille in White Plains," according to the police report. He then told police he got a flat tire, pulled over and that he lived in "Dobbs Ferry, right down the street." SPD conducted a field sobriety test and the driver was arrested. He was charged with a DWI and aggravated DWI of .18 grams or more of alcohol in the blood. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 11.

Car Fire Leads To License Plate Thief

SPD responded to a car fire on June 28 at Walworth Ave and Fenimore Road. Police found the 1993 green Ford Taurus "completely engulfed in flames," according to the police report. Police ran the vehicle plate and found the license plate had been stolen. Police arrested the driver, of New Rochelle, on a charge of criminal possession of stolen property. He was held on $200 cash bail and scheduled to appear in court on July 11.

Stolen Advil Leads To Major Headache

Police arrested a Yonkers woman on a charge of petite larceny after allegedly stealing $63 worth of Advil from the Scarsdale CVS. According to the SPD report, the woman put several boxes of the pain reliever into her purse without paying for them. The store manager caught the culprit and police found 14 boxes of Advil and three containers of baby formula in her purse. She was released on personal recognizance.
