Cops: Commercial driver on parkway was high

A Huntington man who was pulled over Wednesday because he was driving a commercial vehicle on the Northern State Parkway in Westbury faces of charge of driving while impaired by drugs, State Police said.

Michael Oromaner, 42, was driving a gray Ford pickup with commercial license plates east on the parkway near Exit 32, Post Avenue, at about 10:45 p.m., police said.

A trooper detected a strong odor of marijuana as he interviewed Oromaner, police said. Oromaner failed sobriety tests and was arrested.

Police said a "pill bottle containing marijuana and a pipe with marijuana" were found in Oromaner's truck.

Oromaner is charged with DWI drugs, unlawful possession of marijuana and traffic violations, police said. He is scheduled to appear Feb. 6 in First District Court in Hempstead.
