A Long Island crossing guard was arrested this morning after a sharp-eyed civilian spotted her boozed up behind the wheel just moments after leaving her morning post, authorities said.
A 911 caller alerted police to a possible drunk driver near 440 South Sunrise Service Road in Patchogue, Long Island, according to police.
Joanne Griffiths, 58, had just gotten off of work as a crossing guard in Blue Point on Montauk Highway and Bell Avenue, when she was nabbed at 9:35 a.m. in a Walbaums parking lot, police said.
Griffiths has been charged with driving while intoxicated and will be arraigned tomorrow at First District Court in Central Islip, cops said.
