Locke man charged with felony DWI
A Locke man was arrested for a felony drunk driving charge by the Tompkins County Sheriff's Office on New Year's Eve.
Paul B. Raymond, 33, of 186 Tucker Hill Road, Locke, was charged with the class E felony of driving while intoxicated, driving with more than the legally allowable blood alcohol count of .08 percent and having an inadequate exhaust. Raymond allegedly was observed at 10:05 p.m. Sunday driving southbound on Route 38 near the intersection of Old Stage Road, Groton, with a loud muffler, deputies said. During the traffic stop, Raymond submitted to a chemical test for intoxication, which showed he allegedly had a blood alcohol content of .12, deputies said.
A DWI charge is raised to a felony because of a prior conviction. Raymond was released to appear in Groton Town Court, Jan. 17.
