Drunk driver who killed Auburn teen back in 2016 released from prison by NYS Parole Board
AUBURN, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The NYS Parole Board has released Auburn man Dain Schneider, who was sentenced to prison back in 2016 for killing an 18-year-old while drinking and driving in Owasco. District Attorney Brittany Gnome Antonacci said the decision was based on a discretionary decision by the board. Schneider was sentenced to seven to 24 years in prison back in October of 2016. Since then, the district attorney's office has sent multiple letters to the parole board opposing his early release. According to investigators, back in July of 2016, Schneider was driving with a blood alcohol content of .23 percent and driving at speeds over 90 miles per hour when he rammed into the back of 18-year-old Chloe Calhoun's car — who had recently graduated from Auburn High School. At the time of the accident, she was leaving an ice cream stand. Schneider had two previous DWI convictions, and his license had previously been revoked. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

'We're not done yet': FBI discusses future of DWI scandal as another APD officer takes a plea Take a look at the plea deals in New Mexico's DWI scandal Perez told the judge on Tuesday that fellow officer Nelson Ortiz recruited him to join the conspiracy. Perez admitted to taking money from attorney Thomas Clear III to not show up for court hearings in DWI cases so the now-disbarred lawyer could get the charges dropped against his client. He said his participation ended in February 2023, a year before APD promoted him to sergeant. In that role, he oversaw the DWI Unit. He's facing up to 20 years behind bars and up to a $250,000 fine. Perez is the seventh officer now convicted in the public corruption scandal. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
