LOL: NY GOP leader arrested for New Year’s Eve DWI — five days after tweeting there is ‘no excuse for driving impaired’

One of the top Republicans in New York state was arrested for driving while intoxicated on New Year’s Eve.

Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb was arrested for driving while intoxicated after allegedly crashing his car.

“Deputies responding to a report of a property damage crash at 7980 County Route 41 in Victor on Tuesday evening identified Kolb as the driver of the 2018 GMC Arcadia involved in the crash,” the Democrat & Chronicle reported Wednesday. “Kolb was in the vehicle in a ditch in front of his home when the deputy arrived, Ontario County Sheriff Kevin Henderson said.”

The GOP leader was processed at the Ontario County Jail.

“Kolb’s arrest came five days after he tweeted: ‘There is no excuse for driving impaired this holiday season.’ That tweet, posted on Dec. 26, has since been deleted,” the newspaper noted.
