Drunk Woman Arrested After Police Shatter Car Window to Wake Her Up

Niagara Falls Police responded to an alleyway on the 2400 block of Whitney Avenue around 3:55am on September 2nd after reports of a loud noise complaint that was later changed to drunk driving.

Upon arrival, officers observed a 2019 Dodge Durango running and playing loud music. Officers approached the vehicle and observed a female who was later identified as Jade Mccoy.

Officers attempted to wake Mccoy who appeared to be unresponsive but was breathing. Due to officers’ concern for Mccoy’s well-being, officers attempted to make entry to the vehicle with negative results. Officers then attempted to make contact via cell phone with negative results.

Officers notified Niagara Falls Fire Department dispatch to have fire and AMR arrive on scene until Mccoy was responsive. Officers made entry into her vehicle by breaking the passenger side window.

Officers entered the vehicle, turned the engine off, and assisted Mccoy out of the vehicle. It was at this point Mccoy woke up from her sleep.

Fire and medical arrived on scene and provided treatment to Mccoy, who denied transportation to a hospital.

Mccoy underwent field sobriety testing and failed all exams. She was unable to listen to instructions. During the walk and turn test, Mccoy began too soon, couldn’t keep balance, stopped walking, missed heel to toe, stepped off the line, walked the wrong number of steps, and improperly turned.

Mccoy was placed under arrest and put into the rear of a patrol vehicle. She was then transported to police headquarters for booking and processing. During this process, she was uncooperative and aggressive towards officers.

She refused to submit to a chemical test. No further information is available at this time.
