Nathaniel Keegan Boyer

NORTH WEBSTER — A Syracuse man was arrested on drug charges after officers responded to a report of a reckless driver.

Nathaniel Keegan Boyer, 33, 9006 E. Circle Drive South, Syracuse, is charged with unlawful possession or use of a legend drug, a level 6 felony; and possession of marijuana and leaving the scene of an accident, both class B misdemeanors.

On March 11, a North Webster Police officer responded to a report of a reckless driver. A person reported a driver, later identified as Boyer, crossing the center line of a roadway and hitting a stop sign. The officer found Boyer and attempted to speak with him.

According to court documents, when Boyer attempted to speak, his words were slurred. Boyer admitted to drinking alcohol and the officer found an empty bottle of vodka in Boyer’s vehicle. He also said he did not know if he hit anything with his vehicle.

A responding Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office deputy located a damaged stop sign and a detached street sign in the area of Washington and East Streets in North Webster. Damage to Boyer’s vehicle was consistent with hitting the stop sign.

Upon further searching Boyer’s vehicle, officers found a glass jar containing THC and a pill identified as a legend drug. Boyer tested 0.25% BrAC on a portable breath test.

Surveillance footage from a nearby business showed Boyer hitting the two signs with his vehicle.

Boyer has already been arrested and released on bond.
