Police: Port Chester Son and Father Arrested in DWI Incident

A traffic violation on Poningo Street in Port Chester led to the arrest of a village resident on drunken driving charges and his father for resisting arrest, according to Port Chester police.

Police said a village officer stopped a car at about 1 a.m. because the driver went through a red light. When questioned, police said driver David Garibay, 30, of 22 Parker St., Port Chester, appeared intoxicated.

Garibay, according to police, argued with the village officer about taking a breath test for alcohol and was then arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor. Garibay's father, Donato Garibay, 54, of 29 Washington St., was a passenger in the car and got out of the vehicle as his son was being arrested.

Police said the elder Garibay argued with police and would not get back into the car, leading to his arrest on a charge of resisting arrest.

Both men face a hearing in Port Chester Village Court.
