Police say a Penn Yan man who they spotted drive through a red light was drunk at the time of the incident.
A traffic stop was initiated by Penn Yan Police and contact was made with the driver, who was identified as 38-year-old Josias Xolominquiz. After failing several standardized field sobriety tests, Xolominquiz was taken into custody and transported to the Yates County Public Safety building. That is where he submitted to a chemical breath test that police say revealed his blood alcohol level to be .27%.
Xolominquiz was charged with Aggravated DWI .18% BAC or Greater, DWI, Passing a Red Light, and insufficient Turn Signal. He was released on appearance tickets for Penn Yan Village Court.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
