An NYPD captain and a lieutenant were arrested for driving drunk in two separate incidents that happened just two hours apart, cops said.

Lieutenant Ronald Anderson,49, was on Richmond and Platinum Avenues just before midnight Wednesday, when he got into an accident in Staten Island, according to police.

When police responded to the scene he refused to take a breath test and was arrested, cops said.

There were no reported injuries, cops said.

About two hours later NYPD Captain Roberto Cruz, 38, was arrested near the Forest Hills section of Queens, cops said.

The details of that incident weren’t immediately revealed by the NYPD.

Both cops were slapped with charges of driving while intoxicated and refusal to take a breath test, cops said.
