STATEN ISLAND

*** A Graniteville man was arrested near the Verrazano Bridge after he was found driving drunk, law-enforcement sources said.

Police spotted David Rodriguez, 43, of Longdale Street, driving erratically driving his 1991 Nissan near the toll plaza on the Staten Island Expressway just before 12:30 a.m. yesterday.

When police pulled him over, they noticed an intense smell of alcohol inside the car, and saw Rodriguez had watery eyes and was flushed in the face.

Officers gave the man a Breathalyzer test, and he was discovered to have a blood alcohol level that were nearly twice the legal limit, sources said.

Rodriguez was arrested and charged with reckless driving and driving while intoxicated, according to a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.

QUEENS

*** An Illinois man was arrested as part of a ring of con artists that scored more than $100,000 from a major financial institution based in Long Island City, law-enforcement sources said.

Nigel Hutchinson, 19, of Aurora, was recruited by his cousin, Chenier “Lucky” Crumble, in March 2005 to join a ring of nearly 20 people who opened checking and savings accounts in Citibank branches, writing and cashing bogus checks.

Hutchinson and the others involved would open up the accounts with a minimum deposit of $50 and then would write checks to each other in amounts up to $5,000. They would then cash the checks before the bank had a chance to withdraw the monies from the source accounts.

The ring was nabbed after investigators from Citibank’s headquarters at One Court Square uncovered the scheme.

Hutchinson was collared July 11 and hit with a slew of charges including grand larceny and conspiracy. He could face up to seven years in prison, according to a spokeswoman for District Attorney Richard Brown.
