Pick up truck spotted driving with its passenger door open.
A Connecticut man was charged with drunken driving after he was spotted speeding off along Willett Avenue in a pick up truck that had its passenger door flung open and nearly struck another vehicle, according to Port Chester police.
In addition to being charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, police said Jader Sandy, 30, of 60 Weaver St., Greenwich, was charged with driving without a license. Police said Sandy showed an international driver's license which should have long been replaced — he's been in the United States for eight years.
Sandy was stopped by a village police officer at 11:08 p.m. on Nov. 21 after the officer spotted a pick up truck screeching off along Willett Avenue as the passenger door was open. Additional, police said the pick up nearly struck another vehicle.
