A Little Neck man was arrested in North Hills early Saturday after police said he violated Leandra’s Law by driving drunk with his two sons in the car.
Vincent Gagliardi, 41, was arraigned Saturday at First District Court in Hempstead on two counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, driving while intoxicated and other vehicle traffic law violations, Nassau County Police said.
Detectives said Gagliardi was pulled over near Searingtown Road after Third Precinct officers saw him speeding westbound on the Long Island Expressway in Roslyn Heights.
Police said Gagliardi was found to have been intoxicated and that his two sons, ages 12 and five, were in the car with him.
Gagliardi was arrested without incident. The children were released to a family member at the scene.
