LEWISTON — A Lewiston man who was leaving a bar on Center Street driving a go-kart was

charged with felony driving while intoxicated Sunday. And while police were arresting him, a

second man almost ran into officers and the go-kart and also was charged with DWI.

Ronald E. Voit, 22, of Fuller Street had driven to the Pub Bar and Restaurant in a go-kart

because his license had been revoked for a previous DWI conviction. He was seen driving the

go-kart near the bar just after 2 a.m.

He was pulled over by Lewiston Police Officer Scott Stafford at Eighth and Onondaga streets

and was found to have a blood alcohol of .22 percent -- nearly three times the legal limit --

police said. He was charged with DWI for operating above 0.18 percent, felony DWI for a

previous conviction, aggravated unlicensed operation, operating an uninsured motor vehicle on

a highway and a number of vehicle and traffic violations.

Voit was arraigned Sunday night and taken to Niagara County Jail.

While Stafford had Voit pulled over, another vehicle almost struck them. Police waved their

hands and flashed their lights to get that driver to stop, and state police and backup

Lewiston officers were called for assistance.

John Burnett, 24, of Ridge Road, Ransomville, was charged with DWI after police found he

had a blood alcohol content .17 percent. He told police he didn't notice them until the last

minute.
