Our Chicago DUI Attorneys have heard about numerous ways that people can get arrested for DUI. Even so, we never heard about a DUI arrest like the one reported today out of New York State. Apparently a man was arrested for DUI while visiting his friend at the police station. His friend was in custody for – you guessed it – a DUI charge. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

The Rockland County Sheriff’s Department today arrested a man on a drunken driving charge after he came to headquarters to assist a friend who had been pinched on the same charge.

Sergei Marincenko, 22, of Fairview Avenue in Spring Valley, was arrested at 5:10 a.m. today and charged with operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent and driving while intoxicated, both misdemeanors, the Sheriff’s Department said.

Marincenko went to the Sheriff’s Department to visit a friend who was under arrest for an unrelated DUI charge. Marincenko was seen driving his vehicle in a restricted area, was stopped and was found to be intoxicated, police said.

He was arrested, processed at the Sheriff’s Department and released on a summons. He is due in Clarkstown town Justice Court March 23.
