Detective sentenced for DWI

By Adam Kramer

A veteran Queens detective stationed at the 105th Precinct in Queens Village was sentenced last Thursday to 90 days of house arrest, three years of probation and community service for driving while intoxicated in an accident that killed a 62-year-old grandfather two years ago.

Detective Robert Bolson remains on modified duty pending departmental charges, said Sergeant Andrew McInnis, a Police Department spokesman.

On June 21, State Supreme Court Justice Seymour Rotker found Bolson, a 15-year veteran of the force, guilty of common-law driving while intoxicated, which means that someone smelled alcohol on his breath or he appeared to have been drinking, but it was not proven through chemical analysis.

Bolson was cleared of manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, assault, vehicular assault and criminally negligent homicide in the car accident, which killed Federico Hurtado of Queens Village.

Rotker sentenced Bolson to 90 days of house arrest, 350 hours of community service to be served in a hospital
