ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. — Two women were charged with DWI over the weekend in separate incidents.
The Erie County Sheriff's office says Jacqueline Willet, 56, of Akron, entered a snowmobile trail Saturday on Knapp Rd. in Akron shortly before 6:30 PM and hit a snowmobile. The operator of the sled suffered minor injuries. The snowmobile was damaged.
Deputies say Willet failed several field sobriety tests and was charged with DWI-Drugs and a vehicle and traffic law infraction.
In the second incident, deputies were called to an accident scene around 10:30 Sunday night on Boston State Rd. in the Town of Boston. When they got there they saw van embedded in a snowbank and a utility pole with a transformer sheared off and on the ground.
Deputies administered field sobriety tests to 41-year-old Stacy Salamone of Boston. A test at the ECSO substation found Salamone's BAC to be more than twice the legal limit. She was charged with aggravated DWI, DWI and three vehicle and traffic violations and was released to a sober third party.
NYSEG was called in to assess and repair the damage to the utility pole and transformer.
