STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Staten Island assistant district attorney who often prosecutes defendants for drunk driving is now facing those charges himself. Richmond County Assistant District Attorney Craig Trainor was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Midtown Manhattan early this morning. Police said the 33-year-old Castleton Corners resident was speeding and changing lanes without using a signal before he was pulled over on the corner of West 44th Street and 12th Avenue at around 3:15 a.m. Assistant District Attorney Craig Trainor was arrested this morning for allegedly driving drunk. Trainor was also charged with refusing to take a Breathalyzer test at the scene and after he was arrested and taken to the 7th Precinct stationhouse. He is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court today. Beside facing significant fines, jail time and the loss of his driver's license for at least a year, Trainor may also lose his job. District Attorney Daniel Donovan suspended Trainor without pay immediately, pending the outcome of the case. "Obviously, these are very serious allegations. Due to the prosecution being conducted by the Manhattan D.A., we cannot comment further at this time," William J. Smith, a spokesman for the prosecutor, wrote in a statement. Trainor, a graduate of Moore Catholic High School in Graniteville and the Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America, Washington D.C., joined Donovan's staff last August. He was assigned to Criminal Court in Stapleton, handling misdemeanor cases, which include drunk driving charges. Before working for the D.A.'s office, Trainor was a law clerk to Chief Judge Frederick J. Scullin, Jr. of the U.S. District Court in upstate New York; and was an associate at the Manhattan law firm of DeFeis, O'Connell & Rose for three years. His arrest is no doubt an embarrassment for Donovan, who has gained a reputation as one of the toughest prosecutors of drunk-drivers in the state. During his tenure, the Island not only has led the city in drunk driving convictions, but has had the highest percentage of those convicted receive jail sentences.

A Judge ruled that proscuters cannot revive charges against 30 people whose DUI charges were dismissed as part of a ticket-fixing case in which four defense attorneys and a prosecuter pleaded guilty. Johnston County officials argued that the cases were improperly dismissed with the signature of an assistant prosecutor who had resigned.

State Supreme Court Justice Francis Affronti sentenced former Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn to a minimum of 1 2/3 to a maximum of five years in state prison. Before handing down the sentence, Affronti told Rahn he understands the convictions have had a great impact on Rahn's family and the community and said, "Yours is the most difficult and painstaking that I've ever confronted and probably ever will, both professionally and personally. "As chief, it was in fact, your job to know. You were not merely an enabler. You turned a blind eye and ordered the misdeeds of your subordinates, who followed your orders to the letter." A jury found Rahn guilty in April of four felonies and three misdemeanors. Rahn falsified a background check on former Greece Police Officer Gary Pignato, who is now in prison after using his position as a police officer to coerce women into having sex. The jury also found Rahn guilty of trying to cover up the DWI hit and run crash involving former police sergeant Nick Joseph, who is also now in prison. DOUBLE STANDARD DWI The Game

Convicted NY DWI 3/7/10 Cops driving drunk in NY usually stay on the job. New York City police caught driving drunk may have many problems to worry about--- but losing their job usually is not one of them. Since 1999 at least 55 active duty cops have been charged with DWI while on the force. All pleaded down to nonfelony charges and nearly all remained on the job. That includes a sergeant who seriously injured passengers in another car and another charge with arresting arrest .The disturbing phenomenon emerges after a spate of headlines about police charged with driving drunk. Officer Kelley was indicted in the September death of a preacher’s daughter. The next month Det. Spellman was charged with killing a grandmother. Both refused to submit to sobriety tests.

SEOUL, South Korea - A woman in South Korea who tried to pass the written exam for a driver's license with near-daily attempts since April 2005 has finally succeeded on her 950th time. The aspiring driver spent more than 5 million won ($4,200) in application fees, but until now had failed to score the minimum 60 out of a possible 100 points needed to get behind the wheel for a driving test. Cha Sa-soon, 68, finally passed the written exam with a score of 60 on Wednesday, said Choi Young-chul, a police official at the drivers' license agency in Jeonju, 130 miles (210 kilometers) south of Seoul.
