It was determined today that off-duty NYPD detective Kevin Spellman, 42, was blind drunk when he ran over and killed an elderly Bronx woman around 6:30 a.m. Friday.

Spellman refused a Breathalyzer test at the scene of the accident. He was dazed and confused. It took the police more than five hours to draw blood from Spellman at a nearby hospital. Even after the five hour lapse, his blood alcohol level was extremely high. He registered a .21, which is two and a half times the legal limit of alcohol in his system to be driving a vehicle.

Spellman finished his shift at midnight, around six hours before he ran over Drane Nikac who was walking along the street pushing bottles and cans to be recycled. Her wake was held on Monday.

Spellman, 42, is out on a $100,000 bond. He's been charged with DWI, vehicular homicide and criminally negligent homicide.

When will people learn to stop drinking and driving. Everytime someone gets behind a wheel they are potentially killing someone. This poor lady another victim of this senseless crime. Bartenders should never let people get this drunk and if they do they should call them a cab.

The fact this man was a 22 year veteran of the police force, you think he would have learned a thing or two. This is the second time this has happened in NYC in less than a month, both police officers driving drunk and refusing a Breathalyzer test, killing two women.
