LIVINGSTON COUNTY — An off duty Monroe County Sheriff Deputy was charged with DWI under Leandra’s law this past weekend after refusing to take a breathalyzer test.
According to court records, Robert Glazier, 48, was pulled over after the 911 center received a complaint this past Saturday at approximately 7 p.m. of an erratic driver headed north on I-390. There was a 12-year-old child in the car.
Glazier was charged with DWI under Leandra’s Law and was released after posting $500 bail.
Leandra’s Law applies to a driver charged with DWI when there is an occupant age 15 or younger inside the vehicle. They can be sentenced up to 4-years in prison. In addition, the person will be reported to the Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment and their drivers license will be suspended for a minimum of twelve months.
Glazier was honored by the Executive Director of the New York State Sheriff’s Association Peter Kehoe, and the Monroe County Legislature last year for the safe evacuation of 33 residents after two West Webster firefighters, Mike Chiapperini and Tomas Kaczowka, were killed when they were ambushed by a gunman.
Glazier’s next court date is scheduled for Oct. 15 in Avon Town Court.
