Rye Police Officers arrested Eric Greenspan, age 59 of Rye, on Wednesday evening near Playland, for driving while intoxicated (DWI) after he drove his 2023 Rivian into a residence.
At approximately 10:20pm on Wednesday, officers responded to Forest Avenue in the area of Beck Avenue for a property damage accident. An investigation determined Greenspan was operating a 2023 Rivian when he lost control of the vehicle driving off the roadway striking a residence.
Officers administered SFST (Standardized Field Sobriety Testing)’s which Greenspan failed. He was arrested and transported to Rye Police Headquarters where he provided a breath sample of .11% BAC. He was released on an appearance ticket returnable to the City of Rye Court for a later date in December.
