According to North Tonawanda Police, he had previously been arrested on charges of DWI in November 2023.
Zebulske was recently re-elected as North Tonawanda City Attorney in November. He ran unopposed.
We contacted Zebulske for a response to these charges, but he was not immediately available for comment.
After both arrests, Mayor Tylec feels that it is best if Zebulske step down from his position.
"I have spoken to a majority of council members about this, and we believe it is in the best interest of the city, of the day-to-day operations of our government, that Mr. Zebulske consider resigning," Tylec said. "People can make mistakes, but usually you learn from the mistakes, move on, make better decisions, but here we are. Ultimately, we are hopeful the right decision is made."
