NYS Republican Assembly Leader, Arrested for DUI, tried to blame Wife.
Syracuse Post-StandardNew York Assemblyman Brian Kolb, who tested at twice the legal alcohol limit after a New Year’s Eve crash, initially blamed the accident on his wife, according to court papers.
AAA worker Michael T. Scoville told authorities he got a request for help at about 9:50 p.m. New Year’s Eve. He showed up on Boughton Hill Road in Victor to find an SUV down an embankment, about 100 feet from the lawmaker’s driveway. He said he saw a man emerge from the SUV with his hands up, according to court papers.
“My wife was driving!” Kolb told Scoville, the documents show. “You know how women drive,” Kolb added.
The state-owned vehicle was against a utility guide wire, prompting the AAA worker to call 911. Scoville also said Kolb was the only person at the 2018 GMC.
