On August 26, 2019, SP Amity Troopers arrested Maxwell J. Missel, 37, of Olean, NY for Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated – Previous Conviction Within the Past Ten Years, Refusal to Take a Breath Test, and Drinking Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle on a Highway.
During their investigation of a one-car accident on Interstate 86 in the town of Friendship, Missel, the driver, was exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication. Troopers determined he had been operating a motor vehicle in an intoxicated condition. He failed standardized field sobriety tests at the scene. Missel was arrested and transported to SP Amity, where he refused to submit to a chemical breath test.
Missel was arraigned in Friendship Town Court where he was remanded to the Allegany County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail or $2,000 bond. He is due to reappear in that court in September.
