STONY POINT – A Middletown man, whose car rammed into a State Police car on the Palisades Interstate Parkway in Stony Point, has been charged with aggravated DWI Leandra’s Law and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police said Donald Bolling, 44, had a three-year-old in his 2001 Mazda at the time when he had a BAC of .12 percent.

He was issued 13 tickets, arraigned, and remanded to the Rockland County Jail without bail.

The two troopers in the patrol car, which had its emergency lights on during the 5:20 a.m. incident on Sunday, September 25, sustained minor injuries and were treated and released from Montefiore Nyack Hospital.

Bolling and the child were not injured.

The incident began when troopers were stopped behind a vehicle in the northbound lane of the Palisades with its hazard lights on. That female driver was determined to be impaired by alcohol, was charged with DWI and transported to the Haverstraw barracks by another trooper.

The remaining troopers were sitting behind the Mazda waiting for a tow truck when the Bolling vehicle struck theirs.
