State Assembly member Brian Kolb, who has publicly acknowledged crashing his state-owned car into a ditch on New Years Eve while intoxicated behind the wheel, allegedly blamed his wife for the accident, telling a tow-truck driver at the scene, You know how women drive.

Kolbs alleged finger-pointing was detailed in a witness statement taken by an Ontario County Sheriffs deputy and submitted as part of the court record for his case in Victor Town Court.

I observed the front driver side door was open and white male was leaning into the vehicle, the witness, tow-truck driver Michael Scoville, said. I saw the vehicle was running. The male stood up and put his hands up and said, My wife was driving! He then said, You know how women drive. I did not see anyone else around the vehicle.

The man was identified as Kolb, whom Scoville described in the statement as slurring his words. Scoville said he called 911 to report the accident, as per protocol, because it involved property damage. The car had hit a guide wire for a telephone pole.

Kolb was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving and making an unsafe turn. The court records show Kolb registered a .16-percent blood-alcohol content on a Breathalyzer test, twice the legal threshold.

The officer at the scene, Deputy Ian Hall, testified in court papers that Kolb admitted he was the driver and that he had four or five cocktails at the Erie Grill in Pittsford, about 15 miles from the scene of the accident.
