Just before noon on Wednesday, members of the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint about an intoxicated driver on Broadway in the Town of Esopus.

Deputies soon located the vehicle and identified Alfred N. Alo, 30, of Kingston as the driver.

An investigation at the scene revealed the Alo was operating the vehicle in an intoxicated condition, with a two-year-old child as a passenger, police say.

Authorities later allege that Alo was driving over two times the legal limit of intoxication.

Alo was charged aggravated driving while intoxicated - child passenger under the age of 16 years with a blood alcohol content level in excess of 0.18%, a felony, and driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor. Alo also received several undisclosed traffic violations.
