Yonkers police officer Shannon McAuley was arrested in Croton on July 5 and charged with Driving While Intoxicated. McAuley, 28, was a probationary Yonkers cop and was hired in January. She then completed her training at the Westchester Police Academy.
Reports have McAuley dirving in Croton at 3am on Route 9, when she was pulled over for eratic driving. Her license was supended and as a result she was temporarily placed on suspension by the YPD.
McAuley refused to take a breathalyzer test, which is the same as admitting guilt.
Her suspension is now completed, and she is placed on modified duty, pending a review and a criminal outcome of her DWI case.
McAuley comes from a police family, with her father serviing in the YPD as a Leiutenant. He is now retired.
The people of Yonkers, and in law enforcement, are disappointing in McAuley’s arrest. Police officers should be role models for the community they seek to serve. “There are too many options today to driving drunk. Take an Uber,” said one former Westchester police officer.
