Clarkstown Police nabbed four alleged drunk drivers on Rockland roads over the past several days, authorities told Patch—one of whom was behind the wheel while also on drugs.
Authorities arrested 33-year-old New City resident Craig Lerner last Thursday night for driving while impaired by drugs, driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle—all felonies—and possession of a hypodermic instrument, a misdemeanor.
Lerner also faces several vehicle and traffic violations. Police stopped him after a one-car accident on Route 304 near Germonds Road.
