A longtime supervising exterminator with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene agreed to serve an unpaid 40-day suspension for driving a city vehicle to a bar, then leaving seven hours later, allegedly intoxicated, and getting into a multi-car accident, officials say.
The man, an employee of DOHMH for nearly a decade, was off duty at the time of the May incident, the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board said in announcing the three-way settlement Tuesday.
It didn't appear that anyone was seriously injured in the crash; the damage to the other vehicles wasn't known, but the city vehicle was rendered inoperable and beyond repair.
The suspension is valued at about $4,867.
