Former FDNY union head Stephen Cassidy pleaded guilty Friday to driving while intoxicated after slamming into a dumpster in Midtown earlier this year.
Cassidy, 62, was sentenced to do a DWI prevention program, a victim impact program and was ordered to get an ignition interlock device on any car he is to drive for the next year. His license was also suspended for a year.
His attorney James Kilduff told Judge Judge David Frey that “at this point (Cassidy) does not own any vehicles.”
The former FDNY pension boss lost control of a city car, jumped the curb and crashed into the massive metal trash bin on Seventh Ave. near W. 30th St. shortly before midnight on May 8. He narrowly avoided hitting two pedestrians, officials said at the time.
Witness Jakob Grabel watched an incoherent Cassidy lurch from his car and collapse to the ground after the accident.
