ROCHESTER - Despite announcements that law enforcement would be out in force keeping an eye on drunken drivers on New Year’s Eve, several revelers decided to run the gauntlet nonetheless and ended up ringing in the new year with a DWI.

Then early today, Jerry Martins, 31, of Farmington, N.H., was charged with DWI as officers were checking on a suspicious vehicle at the North Main Street Cumberland Farms.
