ONTARIO COUNTY, N.Y. — A Canandaigua man has been charged with a felony DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation in the first degree on Friday.
The Details
Ontario County Sheriff’s deputies said Manuel Gaspar, 56, was arrested around 10 a.m. following an investigation into a tip about a possible drunk driver.
He was taken to the Ontario County Jail, where a test found that his blood alcohol content was higher than .18; the legal limit is .08. Deputies said the arrest is a felony because Gaspar was previously convicted of a DWI within ten years ago. Additionally, his driver’s license is currently revoked because of the previous conviction, leading to the aggravated unlicensed operation charge, according to the sheriff’s office.
He’ll appear at the Town of East Bloomfield Court at a later date.
