Scarsdale Police: Disoriented Dobbs Ferry Man Faces Drunk Driving Charges

A Dobbs Ferry man was arrested June 30 on Fountain Terrace in Scarsdale, after striking a street sign in Scarsdale while trying to make his way home, police said. 

Police found Mark A. Daroczy of 138 Palisade St in Dobbs Ferry on the dead end street; his car had become stuck on the edge of the road, damaging his front tire and bumper, according to Scarsdale PD. The suspect had trouble keeping his balance as police questioned him.

The suspect told officers that he'd "consumed two vodka and cranberry juice (drinks) while at Hudson Grille in White Plains," according to the police report. He then told police he got a flat tire, pulled over and that he lived in "Dobbs Ferry, right down the street."

SPD conducted a field sobriety test and the driver was arrested. He was charged with a DWI and aggravated DWI of .18 grams or more of alcohol in the blood. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 11.
