Peggy A. Williams, 72, of Stoneham Road, was also arrested for DWI subsequent offense, driving with a suspended license, and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
“The governor’s stay-at-home order makes it very clear that individuals are indeed to stay a home. In matters of extreme negligence and reckless conduct, such as DWI crashes, we will charge any and all violations of the law. In this matter we have done so,” Police Chief Dean Rondeau said.
What can we learn from poor Peggy’s predicament?
- Don’t drive drunk.
- Don’t drive with a suspended license.
- Don’t take other people’s vehicles and park them upside down. This attracts the police arrived to find the vehicle resting on its roof.
- In other words, order or not, you should have stayed at home.
