Police after midnight Saturday arrested a 47-year-old River Street man and charged him with driving under the influence.
At about 1:21 a.m. on Dec. 6, an officer on patrol saw a car pulled over on Gerdes Road that was missing a front tire and had heavy damage to its passenger side with a shattered rear window, according to a police report.
The officer stopped to help the driver, the report said. While talking to the man, the officer heard slurred speech and smelled alcohol on his breath, it said.
After conducting field sobriety tests, the officer arrested the man on the misdemeanor DUI charge, taking him to headquarters for processing. There, the man refused to provide a breath sample to establish his blood-alcohol level, the report said.
He was released on $300 bond and scheduled to appear Dec. 19 in state Superior Court.
