Edinburg town justice charged with felony DWI
When a person has a prior DWI conviction within the past ten years and is allegedly caught driving drunk again, he or she will be charged with a felony DWI. This means Brian Kedik, the newly elected Edinburg Town Justice is a repeat DWI offender.
To get charged with the felony DWI, a person must have been convicted of VTL 1192(2), VTL 1192(3), or VTL 1192(4). VTL 1192(1) is the DWAI or "driving while ability impaired" statute. In my experience, almost everyone gets a reduction to DWAI for their first DWI offense. I have had clients with two DWAI offenses on their records. Because Mr. Kedik probably has a DWI offense on his record, he probably has previous a DWAI offense on his record as well.
Mr. Kedik was also recently charged with grand larceny.

Brian Kedik had earned himself 2 DWI related offenses within the last 3 years prior to his arrest last month. For the first one- he took his father-in-law's car and crashed it into someone's front yard light post/retaining wall in Saratoga. This resulted in his first "offense". For his second incident last winter-he went through a stop sign- was pulled over- and blew above a 2.0-resultingin the misdemeanor. This latest escapade resulted in the automaticfelony charge. Jean Raymond (along with the Saratoga and Edinburgh GOP committees) were aware of his 2 previous offenses-along with the grand jury indictment for grand larceny and forgery- but chose to continue to support his candidacy for town justice. He has a long history of losing jobs -including working for Assemblyman Jim Tedisco-around the same time funds or equipment go missing.
