Niagara Falls

• DWI: Rashekeh D. Hilson, 32, 1803 16th St., A-2, was charged at 3:01 a.m. Saturday with DWI, passing a red traffic signal and consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle. Officers, who were stopped at Pine Avenue and Main Street, saw Hilson drive through a red light. She was pulled over at Main and Park Place, where officers detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverages and glassy eyes. Hilson told police she wasn’t drinking. During field sobriety tests, Hilson told officers, “This is stupid, I’m a nurse, so why do I have to do this?” Hilson registered a 0.15 percent blood alcohol content during a breath test at police headquarters. Officers found a water bottle filled with a pink liquid that smelled of alcohol in the vehicle. The bottle was almost empty. Officers also found a passenger who was passed out in the back seat. Police called an ambulance and the passenger, who appeared to be highly intoxicated and could not be woken up, was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.

• DWI: Cherilyn D. Evert, 39, 3530 Ferry Ave., was charged with DWI and improper lane use at 2:51 a.m. Friday. Police, who were responding to another call, saw a SUV swerving on Cudaback Avenue. Officers were looking for the SUV after the call and saw Evert exiting the vehicle and walked to the north sidewalk. She told police she wasn’t driving, although officers saw her behind the wheel and she was standing with the keys to the car in the hand, according to reports. Officers detected the odor of alcoholic beverage, slurred speech, red glassy eyes and impaired motor coordination. She refused to take field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest. At police headquarters, Evert said she would take a breath test but failed to give a proper sample after three attempts. She was then given a refusal.
