7:07 p.m. – Police arrested a North Kingstown woman, 47, for driving while intoxicated and refusing to take a blood alcohol test after she was pulled over on Post Road because she was swerving. Two people had called police to tell alert them to the potentially dangerous driver. When police went to talk to the woman, she had difficulty finding the arm rest button to lower the window. Eventually, she did find the button and police could smell a strong scent of alcohol with the window open. Police had to ask her three times before she was able to produce her driver’s license. She told police she wasn’t sure where she was coming from in East Greenwich and that she had had “only a couple drink.” She needed assistance walking when she was asked to get out of the car. She failed the field sobriety tests and was taken into custody. At the station, she refused to take the BAC test. She was released into the custody of a friend at 8:30 p.m. with a 3rd District Court summons for the first offense DUI, a R.I. Traffic Tribunal for the BAC test refusal, and three moving violations: for speeding, and two laned roadway violations.
