SENTENCE IN DRUNK DRIVING CASE

DELHI – Amy Kille, 42, of Walton, New York, appeared in Delaware County Court on May 20, 2024, before the Honorable Judge John Hubbard, for sentencing. Ms. Kille had previously pled guilty to one count of Driving While Intoxicated, 1st Offense, an Unclassified Misdemeanor in violation of section 1192 (3) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York and one count of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the First Degree, a Class E Felony, in violation of Section 511 (3) (A) (i) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York. 

The charges stem from events that occurred on August 30, 2023, in the Town of Walton. Deputy Justin Mohr of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office observed a vehicle repeatedly swerving in and out of the lanes of traffic. After conducting a traffic stop, Deputy Mohr identified the driver as Amy Kille. After running her license information, Deputy Mohr determined that Ms. Kille’s license had been revoked for a prior Driving While Intoxicated offense. Deputy Mohr also detected the odor of alcohol emanating from Ms. Kille. Chemical testing later on revealed her blood alcohol content (BAC) to be .25%. The legal limit in the State of New York is .08 percent.

On May 20, 2024, Judge John Hubbard sentenced Ms. Kille to a five-year term of probation supervision subject to the successful completion of Adult Treatment Court.  Judge Hubbard also revoked Ms. Kille’s license and ordered her to install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle she owns or operates.  

First Assistant District Attorney Schuyler Konior Kinneman prosecuted the case.

District Attorney Shawn Smith commended Deputy Justin Mohr and Deputy Zachary Finch for their work on this case.  Smith stated, "This defendant was provided with a great opportunity to participate in the Delaware County Adult Treatment Court Program.  If the defendant does not complete the program, she will be sentenced to 1 and 1/3 to 4 years in state prison.”
