Starpoint Central School District Superintendent Sean Croft was arrested for driving while intoxicated after colliding with a tree on Saturday, according to an announcement by the West Seneca Police.
The incident occurred in West Seneca on Nina Terrace near the intersection of East and West Roads.
At approximately 3:40pm, police responded to a report of an injury accident involving a vehicle that had struck a tree while exiting the neighborhood. Upon arrival, officers discovered a Toyota Sedan with significant front-end damage and deployed airbags. Superintendent Sean Croft was found in the driver's seat and allegedly exhibited several signs of intoxication as stated by law enforcement officials.
Croft underwent several field sobriety tests and he reportedly failed them all. He was taken into custody and transported to the West Seneca Police station. However, Croft refused to undergo a breath test to determine his BAC. After booking and processing, Croft was released on appearance tickets for the charges of driving while intoxicated, moving from lane unsafely, and imprudent speed. He is scheduled to appear in court in mid-September to address the charges.
