Dennis Drue to remain in jail after impersonation charge
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Dennis Drue, the driver who killed two Shenendehowa students and seriously injured two others in a 2012 Northway crash, will remain in Schenectady County Jail for the time being.
The Colonie Police Department said the 34 year old, who was released on parole two years ago, was arrested after he allegedly gave officers a fake name while being questioned. Police said Drue was sitting in a running car at The Crossings in Colonie after hours when an officer questioned him.
Drue is facing a false impersonation charge and is scheduled to return to court on April 2.
A department of corrections investigation resulted in an arrest warrant for Drue for violating his parole. He was taken into custody Monday night.
