Sgt. nabbed in DWI after hitting cyclist
An off-duty NYPD sergeant faces drunken-driving charges after he crashed into a bicyclist on a Manhattan street early Thursday, cops said.
Sgt. Louis Guglielmo, 42, a 16-year NYPD veteran, was arrested at 2:20 a.m., after he struck a 35-year-old man on a bike at First Ave. and E. 16th St. Medics took the cyclist to an area hospital in stable condition.
Cops couldn’t immediately say if the cyclist was using the bike lane on First Ave.
Guglielmo refused to take a blood-alcohol test, cops said. He’s been suspended without pay, police said.
He was arraigned on drunken-driving charges in Manhattan Criminal Court Thursday evening and released on his own recognizance.
