The Hudson Valley is once again participating in New York State's STOP-DWI crackdown with increased law enforcement on our roads through Jan 1, 2026.

Halloween is rated the deadliest day for pedestrians under the age of 18, and once again New York State will be cracking down on impaired, distracted, and reckless driving around the holiday.

Law enforcement agencies across Dutchess County plan to "target those who put lives in danger" this weekend.

Seems he's got quite the record.

Holidays and long weekends often see more motorists on the roads, and state police plan on cracking down on impaired and reckless driving.

An investigation and testing determined that the man had been driving with a 0.22% blood alcohol content, which is nearly three times the state's legal limit.

Motorists can expected to see increased police presence on Hudson Valley roadways this weekend, in both marked cars and CITE vehicles.

On Thursday, Governor Cuomo announced a statewide DWI crackdown for Memorial Day weekend.
