Pawling Man Arrested For DWI
Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports that the Sheriff’s Office recorded the following drunken driving arrest.
On June 26, at about 1:26 a.m., Deputy Vincent Dalo investigated an automobile crash in which a car travelling along Route 22 near Argonne Road was driven off the highway and into the curb, causing two tires to blow out. The deputy identified the driver as Mr. Rony A. Agustin-Martinez, aged 33, of 14 Smith Street in Pawling, and determined that he was allegedly driving while intoxicated. Mr. Agustin-Martinez was arrested for DWI, booked at the Sheriff’s Office and arraigned before Carmel Town Justice Joseph Spofford, acting on behalf of the Southeast Court. The judge remanded him to the Putnam County Correctional Facility in lieu of $1,000.00 bail, which was posted later that day to secure his release pending further action in the Southeast Justice Court.
In each of the cases, the defendants were charged with class A misdemeanors, which upon conviction could be punishable by up to one year in jail and fines of up to $1,000.00.
