MORNING UPDATE -- Man charged with aggravated DWI
GLENS FALLS -- A Moreau man was arrested late Wednesday on charges he drove drunk with a blood-alcohol content nearly triple the threshold for driving while intoxicated, police said.
Douglas E. Brock, 50, of Lamplighter Acres was arrested at 11:39 p.m. when Glens Falls Police Officer Tony Lydon saw him driving on South Street with a taillight out, said Glens Falls Police Sgt. John Winchell.
Lydon also saw Brock make a turn without signalling, and when pulling him over found him to be intoxicated, police said. His BAC was found to be 0.23 percent, nearly triple the 0.08 percent threshold for DWI.
He was charged with aggravated DWI, a misdemeanor, and ticketed for having a taillight out and failing to signal for a turn, police said. Brock was released pending prosecution in City Court.
