City man accused of DWI, ramming occupied vehicle

William S. Reyes Jr., 27, of 845 Starbuck Ave., Apt. 1302, was arrested Saturday night on several charges, including driving while intoxicated, after a domestic dispute began at his home and continued to Seaway Plaza in the town of Pamelia, Jefferson County sheriff's deputies said.

The incident began at the Reyes residence as a verbal argument between Mr. Reyes and his wife, deputies said. Mrs. Reyes tried to leave the residence with her two children in a vehicle and Mr. Reyes chased them in a second vehicle, ramming the first vehicle several times while on Route 11 and Plaza Drive, deputies said.

Mr. Reyes was found on Starbuck Avenue by Watertown city police about 8:14 p.m. He faces charges of felony first-degree reckless endangerment, misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child, DWI, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle and several other vehicle and traffic violations.

Mr. Reyes registered a blood alcohol content of 0.14 percent, deputies said. State law establishes 0.08 percent BAC as the threshold for intoxication.

He was held on $7,500 bail at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building. Bail was posted and he was released around 2 p.m. Sunday.
