South Salem woman cited for DUI, other charges

Kim Jacoby, 53, of South Salem, N.Y., was arrested at 10:14 a.m. on Thursday, March 7, on charges of driving under the influence, reckless driving, failure to obey an officer's signal, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of less than 4 ounces of marijuana.

Police said an officer running radar on Smith Ridge Road observed Jacoby traveling above the speed limit in the southbound lane while traveling northbound, nearly causing an accident. Police also noted that the woman did not pull over for a significant amount of time, disobeying the officer, according to the report.

She told police she had a medical marijuana license from the state, but upon further inspection, she was in the process of getting one, police said.

She posted a $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appaer in court on Friday, March 22.
