A Brewster man was given his second DWI charge in last 2 years after police say he was caught driving nearly three times over the legal limit of intoxication.

New York State Police from the Brewster arrested 53-year-old Jeffery G. Welles, of Brewster for aggravated driving while intoxicated and 1st-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, both class E felonies.

Following a Putnam County 911 advisory broadcasting an erratic vehicle complaint, police located and stopped the erratic vehicle on Main Street.
