CURRIER ISSUED A STATEMENT THIS MORNING THAT OFF-DUTY OFFICER MICHAEL O'DONNELL LOST CONTROL OF HIS PERSONAL VEHICLE ON MAPLE STREET AND STRUCK A UTILITY POLE. VILLAGE POLICE RESPONDED 11:15PM. O'DONNELL WAS FOUND TO BE ALLEGEDLY INTOXICATED, AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. CURRIER SAYS HE IMMEDIATELY TURNED OVER THE INVESTIGATION TO NEW YORK STATE POLICE, WHO MADE THE FORMAL D-W-I ARREST.

CURRIER SAID THIS MORNING-QUOTE-ENFORCING THE LAW WHEN IT INVOLVES ONE OF YOUR OWN IS NOT PLEASANT, BUT IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, IT IS THE ONLY THING TO DO. HE WENT ON TO SAY-QUOTE-MY STAFF DID EXACTLY WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM.

O'DONNELL'S JOB STATUS IS NOW UP TO MASSENA VILLAGE TRUSTEES.
