A 40-year-old Attica man who was stopped on East Main Street, Batavia, just 12 days ago, admitted in Genesee County Court this morning that he was driving drunk at the time.
Roland J. Reed admitted to a felony count of driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation. He was charged under Leandra's Law because he reportedly had a 2-year-old and an 8-month-old in his car when he was stopped by police.
He was also charged at the time with unlawful possession of marijuana, refusal to take a breath test and moving from lane unsafely.
Reed also admitted to DWI convictions, one in Le Roy in 2009 and another in Monroe County in 2008.
He faces from one to four years in state prison.
Originally jailed on $25,000 bail, Reed will be released under supervision of Genesee County Justice as a condition of his plea.
In addition to prison time, Reed will be required to have an ignition interlock device for at least six months upon his release.
While out of jail awaiting sentencing, Reed will be undergoing treatment, according to his attorney, and looking for work. Judge Robert C. Noonan imposed a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
