Police: Middletown man charged with DWI; blood alcohol level was 3 times the legal limit

A Middletown man is facing DWI charges after police say he had a blood alcohol level that was three times the legal limit.

State police say Jorge Tapia-Ramirez, 46, was pulled over Sunday on I-84 in Wallkill after officers got multiple calls about someone driving erratically.

They say Ramirez had a blood alcohol level of 0.24%.

Police say Ramirez also had two outstanding bench warrants — one from 2015 and the other from 2023. They say both warrants involved DWI charges.
