TOWN OF KORTRIGHT SENTENCE IN DWI CASE

KORTRIGHT – District Attorney Shawn J. Smith announced that Kenneth L. Stone, 56, of Davenport, pleaded guilty in the Town of Kortright Court on November 18, 2025, to one count of Driving While Intoxicated, an Unclassified Misdemeanor.  The defendant was sentenced to three years of probation.  As part of his sentence, he will have to attend a Victim Impact Panel, a Drinking Driving Program if eligible and an alcohol /drug evaluation with any recommended treatment. 

On July 3, 2025, New York State Troopers Siobhan Carey and James Vlahakis were traveling on State Route 23 in Davenport when noticing an ATV with no plate traveling east on the shoulder of the roadway.  A traffic stop was initiated.  Upon an interview with the operator, identified as Kenneth Stone, Trooper Carey detected an odor of alcohol. Standardized Field Sobriety Tests were initiated, and it was determined that Stone was intoxicated.  A preliminary breath test also revealed a positive result for alcohol.  

District Attorney Smith commended the work of NYS Troopers Carey and Vlahakis on this case.  “Thanks to the diligent work of Trooper Carey, another intoxicated driver was held accountable.  Any motorized vehicle no matter the size can prove to be dangerous when driven by someone that is under the influence of alcohol.”
