The Public Information Office reports the arrest of a Suffolk County man for DWI that occurred on July 3 at 1:45 a.m. in Bethpage.
According to police, Highway Patrol Officers, along with Eighth Precinct officers, were on Central Avenue with their emergency lights on effecting an arrest of an individual for driving while intoxicated. An officer was standing outside of his police vehicle and observed a Honda Pilot approaching them at a high rate of speed and not slowing down. Officers were able to move out of the way as the Honda Pilot crashed into the officers vehicle, pushing it approximately 40 feet before finally coming to a stop. The impact was so forceful that it bent the frame of the police vehicle. Officers checked the vehicle and observed 30-year-old Quevin Quinteros Crespo of Copiague in the driver’s seat. A police investigation was conducted and Crespo was placed under arrest for DWI. A Nassau County Police Ambulance responded to the scene and transported Crespo to a nearby hospital for assessment and treatment.
Crespo is charged with DWI and driving without a license. He was arraigned on July 3 in First District Court in Hempstead.
