Cops arrest garbage truck driver for drunk driving, crashing into several parked cars in Bensonhurst
Police arrested a 40-year-old male garbage truck driver on five charges after he crashed into several parked cars in the Bensonhurst area.
Authorities allege that, on Saturday, June 9 at around 5:30 a.m., Anthony Castaldo was driving a private sanitation truck at a high speed eastbound at 60th Street and 19th Avenue when he lost control and collided with several parked cars before hitting the front of a building on 60th Street between 18th and 19th Avenues.
When officers arrived at the scene, authorities allege, they noticed that the suspect had watery eyes, slurred speech and an unsteady gait. They say he was being uncooperative with officers and pushed one of them away before fleeing on foot.
