Corrections Officer Mary Lyon Charged with DWI

A state correction officer from Little Falls was arrested Friday evening after authorities said she drove drunk.

Mary Lyon, 44, was charged with driving while intoxicated and refusal to submit to a chemical test, town of Frankfort police said.

Frankfort officers said they stopped Lyon at about 7 p.m. on state Route 5S after receiving a complaint from state Department of Environmental Conservation police.

Lyon did not cooperate with officers, police said.

Lyon works in Marcy where there are two state prisons. Police did not say whether Lyon is assigned to Marcy Correctional Facility or Mid-State Correctional Facility.

Judge James Wright ordered Lyon to be held at the Herkimer County jail on $500 cash bail or $1,000 bond, police said.

She is scheduled to appear in town court Tuesday, March 16.
