On April 23, 2023, SP Machias Troopers arrested Jack M. Bestpitch, 18, of Elma, NY for Driving While Intoxicated.
During a traffic stop on State Route 16 in the town of Franklinville, Troopers observed Bestpitch exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication and determined he had been operating a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated condition. Bestpitch failed standardized field sobriety tests at the scene. He was then arrested and transported to SP Machias, where a chemical breath test revealed him to have a 0.08% BAC.
Bestpitch was released with appearance tickets for Franklinville Town Court, where he is due to appear in May.
