TOWN OF LOCKPORT — A Lockport man stopped by Niagara County Sheriff's deputies early Saturday morning was charged with DWI, driving without a license and speeding.
According to the NCSO report, Earl L. Townsend, 38, 253 Pine St., was pulled over on Tonawanda Creek Road. He was determined to be intoxicated and charged with DWI.
Patrol searched him and found a plastic bag containing a white powder substance in his left front jean pocket, which Townsend said was cocaine. A search of his vehicle revealed a open can of Labatt's beer under the passenger front seat, and a plastic cup in the center console which appeared to contain an alcoholic beverage.
A NYS DMV check showed that Townsend had a prior DWI conviction in 2010 out of the Town of Tonawanda.
He was taken to Niagara County Jail where bail was set at $250. He has a return court date of Oct. 9 in the Town of Lockport Court.
Further charges are pending.
