Suspicious person

According to the male, he saw someone in the lot pulling on the door of a red pickup truck and thought the individual may be trying to break into the vehicle. Officers were unable to locate the person.
Drunk driving
THURSDAY, Sept. 27, 11:49 p.m. — An officer on patrol observed a vehicle traveling eastbound on Vestal Parkway without its headlights on. The officer stopped the vehicle and talked with the driver, a 22-year-old female. When the officer asked to see her driver’s license, she was unable to produce her license or registration, so she told the officer her name and date of birth. After running the driver’s information, the officer discovered her license was suspended. Upon returning to the vehicle, the officer noticed an alcoholic beverage in the car. When questioned, the female initially denied drinking, but later admitted to consuming two beers. The female was administered a field sobriety test, which she failed, and was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. At the station, the female agreed to take a breathalyzer test and blew a blood alcohol content of 0.19, more than double the legal limit. The suspect was issued an appearance ticket for Vestal Town Court.
