Traffic violation leads to DWI charge for Southeast man

A traffic violation has led to a driving while intoxicated charged for a driver in the Town of Southeast.  A Putnam County Sheriff Deputy on patrol early last Monday saw a car cross the double yellow line and the driver having trouble maintaining the lane of travel.  The driver was pulled over and the Deputy saw signs of alcohol impairment.  The 37-year old from Southeast failed field sobriety tests.  He refused to take a breathalyzer test and, in addition to the misdemeanor DWI, was charged with Refusal to Take a Breath Test, Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended Registration, Drinking Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle, and Driving to the Left of Pavement Markings.  Due to his refusal, he was held in the Putnam County Correctional Facility pending his arraignment.
