DWI (Third)
Safety officers responded to a brush fire and eventually arrested the man responsible, Timothy Barbone, 45, of Prewitt, and charged him with his third DWI.
McKinley County Sheriff’s Deputy Miguel Bittony was dispatch to the intersection of Haystack Road and Highway 122 in reference to a white Dodge Ram hauling a trailer with a boat. The trailer reportedly had a flat tire and was creating sparks, which resulted in a brush fire on Haystack Road. Bittony reported he saw black marks and scrapes on the road.
Bittony arrived at the scene and firefighters directed him to the vehicle that created the sparks. Bittony met the driver, Barbone, and began to question him about the incident.
As he spoke, Barbone reportedly showed signs of intoxication including bloodshot eyes, smelling of alcohol, and slurred speech. He stated that the last drink he had was a day prior to being stopped.
Barbone agreed to take the Standard Field Sobriety Tests. However, he performed poorly on the tests and was placed under arrest. He was transported to the sheriff’s office for the breath test, where he posted two samples of .15. He was then transported to McKinley County Adult Detention Center and booked for DWI (third).
His motion hearing is set for July 16.
