Police say Chad Allison Jr., 28, of Penn Yan was arrested after a traffic stop in the Village.
Allison was observed driving erratically on Elm Street, which resulted in a traffic stop being initiated. Officers observed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Allison’s vehicle.
They say his speech and coordination was also impaired.
Allison was placed through field sobriety tests, which he failed. Deputies transported him to the Yates County Jail, where he submitted to a breath test.
