A Perry man is facing a felony DWI charge following a traffic stop in the Village of Perry on July 20, 2018.
Michael R. Gambino, 64, of Perry, was stopped by Deputy Chase at 10:18p.m. for an insufficient turn signal and failure to keep right while turning from Leicester Street onto Covington Street. A roadside investigation was completed where open containers of alcohol were located inside of the vehicle and Gambino subsequently failed field sobriety testing. While being taken into custody, Gambino resisted arrest.
Gambino is charged with insufficient turn signal, failure to keep right, consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle, refusal to take a breath test, resisting arrest, and felony DWI. The DWI is a felony due to Gambino having a prior aggravated DWI conviction in Wyoming County Court in 2012, in which Gambino served prison time.
Gambino refused a chemical test and was taken to the Village of Perry Court for arraignment.
Gambino’s driving privilege was suspended for the refusal pending a Chemical Test Refusal Hearing. Gambino was remanded to the Wyoming County Jail without bail due to previous felony convictions. Gambino will return to Perry Court on August 7, 2018 at 1p.m.
The Perry Police Department along with Sergeant Bryant of the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.
Alan Bookmiller, 25, of Genesee Falls, was arraigned in Wyoming County Court on Wednesday July 18, 2018 in regards to an indictment for strangulation 2nd.
Bookmiller was indicted following an investigation by the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office in regards to an incident that occurred in the Town of Wethersfield in January of 2018.
Bookmiller was released on his own recognizance and is to re-appear at a later date.
