Police Officer Resigns After DUI Crash | Albany News

Stephanie VanAlstyne, a former officer with both the Greenport PD and Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, has resigned amid allegations she crashed her patrol car while intoxicated — blood alcohol level hit .15, nearly double New York’s legal limit. The incident occurred on August 2 near Walmart on Fairview Avenue during a larceny response. Though disciplinary proceedings were underway, VanAlstyne stepped down before they concluded. The criminal case is now in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, with charges including DWI and multiple traffic violations. Both agencies are now silent as the legal process moves forward.
