Norwood News thank you for the updates!
You’re welcome Ms. Rosario. Thanks for reading.
You thought this was an important story in the Bronx, which is the crime capital of NY? Are you serious?
Thanks for your comment. All DUI stories are important as they highlight the danger to pedestrians and other drivers, and hopefully serve to raise more awareness of the need for tighter control/penalties for drunk driving offenders.
Why are people so willing to excuse illegal behavior by cops?
Becuse they are pigs and an organized illegal gang.
It can happen to anyone
