Police: DUI for Man, 62, at 6:39 PM With More Than Double Legal BAC Level
|
A 62-year-old man reportedly driving erratically at 6:39 p.m., Thursday had more than two and a half times the legal alcohol limit in his blood when he was tested about a half hour later, police said. Darien police gave this account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:
Called to the area of the intersection of the Post Road and Cross Street near Spring Grove Cemetery on the report of an erratic driver, police stopped the vehicle described to them, a gold minivan and with the same license plate number described to them. Officers talking with the man, a Norwalk resident, immediately smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from him. They found it difficult to understand him through his slurred speech. When asked for his driver’s license, he gave police several credit cards before he found it.
