Aggravated DWI Arrest

ANDES — Sheriff Craig DuMond announced the arrest of an Andes man for Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated as the result of a traffic stop.

On March 12, 2025, Sheriff’s Deputies were patrolling the Hamlet of Andes and observed a vehicle driving erratically and subsequently driving off the roadway across a lawn.  A traffic stop was initiated and the driver of the vehicle was identified as Zachary Wiener, age 29, of Andes. 

During the course of the investigation, it was determined that the operator’s breath alcohol concentration was almost three times the legal limit, and as a result, Wiener was charged with Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated with a BAC of more than .18%, as well as Driving While Intoxicated, both Misdemeanors. Wiener was further issued traffic tickets for failure to keep right, moving from lane unsafely, and failure to use a turn signal. 

Wiener was subsequently released on appearance tickets and traffic summonses and was directed to appear at the Town of Andes Court at a later date to answer the charges.
