An Auburn man faces DWI charges after Cayuga County deputies said he failed to stop at a stop sign and red light in Throop early Friday.
Gustavo Chagoya-Fuerte, 24, was charged with driving while intoxicated, DWI per se and other vehicle and traffic violations, according to Sheriff Brian Schenck.
Deputies said they saw a southbound vehicle fail to stop at the intersection of State Route 38 and Turnpike Road around 12:50 a.m. Oct. 30.
The vehicle continued south on Route 38 above the posted speed limit before deputies stopped it near the Auburn city line, the sheriff's office said.
Chagoya-Fuerte was the driver and sole occupant, deputies said.
He was taken to the Public Safety Building, where a breath test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.12%, according to the sheriff's office.
The DWI counts are misdemeanors.
He was issued traffic tickets directing him to appear in Throop Town Court at 6 p.m. Nov. 10.
