Cortland Woman Charged With DWI by State Police

Around 1:30 in the morning on December 1st, a New York State Trooper conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on Pendleton Street in the City of Cortland after the Trooper witnessed the vehicle make traffic infractions.

During the stop, Troopers detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage on 43 year old Katrina J. Trosse of Cortland, along with other characteristics that are associated with alcohol impairment. Trosse was asked to perform a Standardized Field Sobriety Test, which confirmed impairment. 

Trosse was arrested and charged with Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated, a Misdemeanor. She was arrested and transported to SP Homer where her B.A.C. was found to be over double the legal limit of .08%. Trosse had a B.A.C. of .18%. She was processed and issued an appearance ticket to Cortland City Court next month. Trosse was then turned over to a sober third party.
