The Oneonta State Police arrested a Worcester man on drinking and driving charges after allegedly driving the wrong-way on I-88 and hitting a bus Sunday night.
Andrew C. Scheiner, 28, was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, with a blood alcohol content of .22 percent and several other traffic tickets after Troopers responded to an Otsego County 911 report of a vehicle heading in the wrong direction on I-88, eastbound in the Town of Oneonta, according to police.
Just before police arrived, Mr. Scheiner, who was driving his 2004 Chevrolet Impala westbound in the eastbound lane, struck the side of a bus that was being driven eastbound. No one was injured in the accident, police added.
An investigation determined that Mr. Scheiner also had a suspended licensed. He was arraigned and sent to jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail or $2,000 bond to return to court on July 16, according to police.
