Drive, he texted
■ Drive, he texted: Adam Taylor was text messaging in the wrong place at the wrong time last Saturday night, a fact that eventually led to his arrest. Taylor, 32, of Newfane, was behind the wheel of his car, driving drunk down Lockport-Olcott Road in the vicinity of a Niagara County sheriff’s deputy when he became too engrossed in his texting to pay attention to the road, and he all but ran the deputy off the road. Coming to his senses, and with some quick, clearheaded thinking, Taylor switched off his headlights and tried to lose the deputy on side streets before being pulled over near his home. He now faces six charges, including driving while intoxicated, failure to keep right and, we can only guess, drunk texting (a new spin on drunk dialing).
