Nassau County officers say they spotted a woman trying to make a three-point turn on a road in East Meadow. They say that when she couldn't complete the maneuver, she switched places with a male passenger, who took the steering wheel and completed the turn while not wearing a seat belt.
Police pulled them over and charged them with drunken driving.
As police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey put it, "We have two individuals arrested for driving the same car intoxicated."
The man and the woman were arraigned Friday on driving while intoxicated and other charges.
The woman was ordered held on $1,000 bail. The man was ordered held on $5,000 bail.
They're due back in court Tuesday.
