WHITE PLAINS – An off-duty
New Rochelle city police officer has been charged with vehicular manslaughter
and DWI after his car crashed into a tree in on Mamaroneck Avenue White
Plains about 3 Monday morning.
White Plains Police Commissioner David Chong said Henry Kyreakedes, 27, who has been with the New Rochelle Department for a little over a year, had a blood-alcohol content of .23 percent, or almost three times the legal limit.
