A photograph depicting a car crash scene on West Lake Road in Groveland accompanies the news that a Conesus man has been charged with a serious offense of driving while intoxicated. According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred late in the evening on July 28 when deputies responded to a report of a hit-and-run at a local business. The individual responsible for the collision, later identified as Spencer J. Brisbane, returned to the scene while the investigation was underway. Suspecting alcohol impairment, deputies called in Deputy Dylan Bowser from the Sheriff’s Office’s STOP DWI Unit to conduct a roadside investigation. Following the investigation, Brisbane was arrested for DWI and taken to the Sheriff’s Office in Geneseo. A breathalyzer test administered by Deputy Ryan Schirmer revealed that Brisbane’s blood alcohol content was 0.17%, significantly higher than the legal limit of 0.08% in New York State. Furthermore, it was discovered that Brisbane had a prior DWI conviction in 2022, resulting in the current arrest being classified as a felony.
