Wrong way down Ferry leads to DWI arrest
A Whitesboro man faces several charges after he was spotted driving the wrong way down Ferry Avenue about 2 a.m. Sunday.
Michael R. Zick, 20, was charged with driving the wrong way down a one-way street, DWI and speeding, according to police.
After going the wrong way down Ferry, Zick was being followed by a patrol car as he was driving 42 mph down Pine Avenue — a 30 mph street. Officers noted that he failed to pull over when they turned on their emergency lights and had to turn on their siren to get him to pull over.
After stopping in City Market, Zick, who officers said smelled of alcohol, refused to take field tests and was charged. Once at police headquarters, Zick agreed to take a breath test but changed his mind after making his phone call.
Zick blamed his GPS unit when asked why he was driving the wrong way down Ferry Avenue.
