Saugerties man charged with felony DWI

Saugerties police said a vehicle driven by Christopher R. Whitehead, 31, of Jane Street in the Village of Saugerties, went off High Falls Road just after 5 p.m. Sunday. The person reporting the accident told police the car was being pulled out from where it landed by a truck, and when police arrived the vehicle was gone.


Shortly afterward, police got a 911 call reporting the same vehicle was driving erratically all over a roadway in the village. An off-duty police officer and a civilian witness were able to stop the vehicle and keep both the vehicle and the driver at the scene until officers arrived.
