On Friday, Penn Yan Police arrested a Pennsylvania woman following a traffic complaint regarding a vehicle driving on a flat tire and failing to maintain its lane.
Officers responded to Lake Street and observed a vehicle stopped in the roadway before pulling into a nearby parking lot. Police made contact with the driver, identified as 47-year-old Nydia Torres-Guevara of Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. Officers noted heavy damage to the vehicle’s rear passenger tire, consistent with striking a fixed object.
During the interaction, Torres-Guevara displayed several indicators of intoxication and failed standardized field sobriety tests. She was taken into custody and transported to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital, where she voluntarily submitted to a blood draw.
Torres-Guevara was charged with Driving While Intoxicated, Consumption of Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle, and Unsafe Tire.
She was issued traffic tickets to appear in Penn Yan Village Court at a later date, with additional charges pending the results of the blood test.
The charges are accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Police reports are automatically removed from this site after 90 days.
