State troopers from the Cortlandt barracks arrested the man at about 2:05 a.m. Sept. 15, officials said Tuesday in a press release. They stopped him in town for failing to maintain his lane of travel.
The defendant reportedly failed standardized field sobriety tests. Police say his blood-alcohol level was 0.17 percent. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.
Police charged the man with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. He is due in Cortlandt Justice Court Oct. 7.
