Holiday Weekend Traffic Stops End with DWI Arrests in Rockland and Westchester County

Law enforcement throughout New York State and across the Hudson Valley are ever-present when it comes to enforcing the rule of law, especially on our roadways. That presence also grows on holiday weekends because law enforcement knows that people like to celebrate holidays with a drink, or two. Amazingly enough, there are still individuals out there who over indulge and then think it's okay to drive, and that's exactly what transpired over the recent holiday weekend.

The Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day (however you choose to refer to it) Weekend DWI incidents occurred on back-to-back nights in both Rockland County, and in Westchester County. However, it was State Troopers from the Tarrytown barracks that attended to both incidents.
