Police after midnight Friday arrested a 28-year-old Norwalk man and charged him with driving under the influence.
At about 1:01 a.m. on Jan. 24, an officer on patrol stopped a vehicle traveling northbound on Route 123 because it didn’t have a front license plate, according to a police report.
While speaking to the driver, the officer detected signs of impairment, the report said.
The man was taken into custody after undergoing field sobriety tests and at police headquarters he submitted to a test to establish his blood-alcohol level, it said.
He tested at .152, nearly twice the legal limit, police said.
Police additionally cited the man for failure to display a number plate.
He was released on $250 bond and scheduled to appear Feb. 4 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
If this man was “impaired” and twice over the legal limit of alcohol, why was he released? Still a danger to others on the road … and to himself!
