Disabled Vehicle Leads to 3 Drunk Driving Arrests

GREENBURGH, NY — A disabled vehicle lead to three drunk driving charges—one of them a felony—in the Town of Greenburgh Saturday.

State Police said troopers were dispatched to a disabled vehicle northbound on the Sprain Brook Parkway around 2:53 a.m.

When they arrived at the scene, police said the driver—Lucio Manuel Medina-Lozano of Elmsford—had made a right turn off the roadway trying to make a U-turn.

His vehicle became stuck on a dirt-covered area of the shoulder.

Police said Medina-Lozano was intoxicated.

He called his wife—Patricia F. Tenezaca, also of Elmsford—who arrived at the scene with her 2-year-old daughter to help him.
