NEW YORK CITY — A Bronx cop's suspected boozy arrival at work prompted her arrest on a drunken driving charge, according to a report and authorities. Kerry Badala, 38, faces a driving while intoxicated charge, authorities said. She was arrested Thursday at about 4:50 a.m. in the 47th Precinct in the Bronx. That's about when Badala drove up to a Randall Avenue station house, got out of her vehicle on unsteady feet and reeked of alcohol, the New York Daily News reported. Badala apparently had left a station house two hours earlier before showing up intoxicated, the Daily News reported. She's not the only Bronx cop arrested in the past day. Ramon Castro, 33, was arrested off duty early Friday on an assault charge, authorities said.
