A former Adelphi University president accused of drunken driving after crashing into an LIRR station has pleaded guilty to reduced charges of second-degree reckless endangerment and fourth-degree criminal mischief, both misdemeanor offenses.
Christine Riordan, 61, broke through metal fencing at the Nassau Boulevard station, “narrowly” missing commuters before landing on the tracks and causing an electrical explosion from the third rail, Newsday previously reported.
As part of her plea, she must satisfy several conditions, including making a $140,000 payment to the MTA and LIRR for damage to the railway, according a spokeswoman with the Nassau DA’s Office.
