Driver of Car With Open Trunk Charged With DWI

The following information was provided by the Bedford police department and does not indicate a conviction.

Andrew Gallagher, 22, of Katonah, was stopped by Bedford police at 2:43 a.m. on New Year's Day because he was driving a car with an obstructed rear view.

The trunk of Gallagher's car was open but he wasn't aware of it, police said. The investigating police officers said they smelled the odor of alcohol in the car and noticed a number of vodka bottles strewn on the back seat. They asked Gallagher to get out of the car and observed his red, watery eyes. 

Once out of the car, Gallagher performed and failed field sobriety tests. He was taken back to police headquarters and then took a chemical test which resulted in a .11 BAC, according to police. Gallagher was charged with DWI over .08 BAC, driving without a license and driving with an obstructed view. He was released without bail pending a return to town court.

Chappaqua man charged in DWI

Christopher Zuk, 21, was arrested on Jan. 2 and charged with aggravated DWI and speeding after Bedford police officers observed him allegedly driving too fast down Woodsbridge Road in Katonah.

After stopping him at 12:12 a.m. for driving 41 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone, police officers said Zuk appeared to have glassy eyes and spoke with slurred speech. They asked the Chappaqua resident if he had been drinking and he admitted to having three beers.

Zuk failed the police field sobriety tests and was taken to headquarters for processing. There, a chemical test revealed Zuk to have a .21 BAC, more than twice the legal limit. He was released on $100 bail pending a return to Bedford town court.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
