Posted by A town supervisor has been convicted of felony drunken driving more than seven months after he drove into a ditch in western New York.
Lloyd Kinnear, supervisor of the town of Canandaigua (kan-un-DAY’-gwuh) for three years, will lose his job and could draw a maximum penalty of 16 months to four years in prison at sentencing on June 12.
After a half-day of testimony in a non-jury trial, a judge found the 45-year-old Kinnear guilty of two counts of felony driving while intoxicated. He was previously convicted of DWI in 2005.
A police test showed Kinnear had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16 percent, twice the legal limit for driving, when his car veered off a road in East Bloomfield late at night on Sept. 5
