Lewis County teen facing DWI charges following property damage wreck

PITCAIRN- A Lewis County resident is facing DWI charges following a property damage wreck over the weekend in the North Country.

It was just after midnight on Saturday when the New York State Police (Gouverneur) responded to a reported property damage wreck in the town of Pitcairn, St. Lawrence County.

As a result of their investigation, Troopers arrested and formally charged a 16-year-old juvenile suspect from Harrisville, NY with one count each of DWI (first offense) and operating a motor vehicle (w/a .08 of 1% BAC or greater).

Due to their age and youthful offender status, a suspect name for the teenager was not released.

At press time, Troopers said the teenage suspect was issued with an appearance ticket.

There were no further details provided.
