Police after midnight Saturday arrested a 31-year-old East Avenue man and charged him with driving under the influence.
At about 1:14 a.m. on Dec. 16, an officer on patrol spotted a vehicle traveling northbound on Old Stamford Road with an expired registration plate, according to a police report.
During a subsequent stop, the officer smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath, the report said.
The motorist then failed field sobriety tests and was taken into custody, it said.
At headquarters, he refused to undergo a blood-alcohol test, police said.
He additionally was charged with operating an unregistered motor vehicle.
Police released the man on $250 bond and scheduled him to appear Dec. 27 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
