Liptak , 38, of East Aurora. After initially interviewing Liptak, deputies asked Liptak to perform standardized field sobriety testing, which she performed poorly. While Deputies were attempting to place Liptak under arrest, she resisted arrest by fighting with two deputies. A 9 year old female passenger was also in the vehicle at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liptak was transported to the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office where she submitted to a drug influence evaluation conducted by a NYS Certified Drug Recognition Expert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the evaluation, it was determined that Liptak was impaired by several different drugs and unable to operate a motor vehicle safely. Liptak is charged with Aggravated DWI \u2013 w\/child passenger less than 16 (Leandra\u2019s Law DWI), DWAI Drugs, DWAI Drugs Combo, Fail to Keep Right, Operate Motor Vehicle w\/ Suspended Registration, Reckless Driving, Resisting Arrest and Endangering the Welfare of a Child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liptak was arraigned via Skype by Judge Errington, of the Warsaw Town Court, for the purposes of a DWI refusal.
