Adventures in Carpooling
Woonsocket Police arrested a local woman
for DUI after officers reportedly watched her run a red
light and drive straight in a left-turn-only lane, all without wearing her
seatbelt. The four children in the back of her SUV also were reportedly
unbuckled.
After pulling her over, officers noted the woman smelled
strongly of alcohol, but she ititially claimed she hadn't been drinking. When
officers asked again, noting they could smell alcohol on her, she allegedly
admitted to having a glass of wine.

allegedly registered a .213 blood alcohol level, more than double the legal
limit of .08. She was charged with driving under the influence and driving
on a suspended license. DCYF was notified.
