BREWSTER — Village police today are praising a motorist who followed a suspected drunken driver and notified police after nearly being struck by the man.
Chief Officer Jon Del Gardo of the village police said that the motorist was driving on Main Street around 12:15 a.m. Sunday when he was nearly struck by a car driven by Giron Adelso Nectaly Vasquez. 36, of 138 Main St., Brewster.
The motorist turned around and followed Vasquez to a Gulf gas station on Main Street and notified police. Officer Stephanie Perro responded and was assisted by Officer Wayne Peiffer.
Del Gardo said the officers took Vasquez into custody and charged him with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. He also said that Vasquez refused to submit to alcohol screening, a violation.
Police, who needed an interpreter to communicate with the Spanish-speaking suspect, took Vasquez to the Putnam County jail after his arraignment before Village Justice Richard O'Rourke. He is due back in Village Court on April 12. He is being held on a federal immigration detainer warrant because authorities said Vasquez admitted to being in the country illegally from Guatemala.
Del Gardo praised the unnamed motorist who followed Vasquez despite nearly being struck by him.
"We very much appreciate the effort to get this guy (Vasquez) off the road," he said.
Illegal immigrants driving drunk has been a particularly touchy subject in Brewster since last June, when a drunken driver who was in the country illegally ran over and killed a mother and her daughter as they left the girl's dance class in Brewster.
Conses Garcia-Zacarias, 35, is serving up to 25 years in state prison on two counts of vehicular homicide in the June 8, 2009, deaths of Lori Donohue, 37, and her 8-year-old daughter, Kayla.
