Babysitter Drove Drunk With 4 Children in the Car in Mount Sinai: Police

A 19-year-old babysitter faces felony DWI charges after police say she drove drunk with four children in her car before she was stopped by a good Samaritan Thursday afternoon in Mount Sinai.

According to authorities, a woman saw an intoxicated Sabrina Macri, of Sound Beach, unable to locate her car in the Cedar Beach parking lot, located on Harbor Beach Road, while she had four boys, ages 4 to 11, in her care at 2 p.m.

Macri eventually located her black 2015 Honda Civic and attempted to drive away with the boys in her car, but the good Samaritan was able to use her own vehicle to block the Honda until police arrived, police say.

Macri was charged with DWI, aggravated DWI, DWI with a passenger 15-years-old or younger (Leandra’s Law), four counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

She will be held overnight at the Fourth Precinct and will be arraigned Friday at First District Court in Central Islip.
