Both suffered "non-life-threatening injuries," police say.

Police allege the Putnam Valley man was drunk at the time of the crash. But when police arrived on the scene, the ATV was somehow not at the scene.

A thorough investigation by police revealed that 25-year-old Justin M. Mooney of Poughkeepsie, New York and Cullum R. Pavone, 26, of Wappingers Falls, New York, allegedly "conspired to intentionally remove and conceal the ATV, thereby tampering with evidence related to the incident."
