8:01 p.m. – Police arrested an East Greenwich man, 47, for driving while intoxicated and refusing to take a blood alcohol test after he was stopped for on Marlborough Street in connection to a possible hit-and-run on King Street. The man was pulled over on the side of the street with the keys still in the ignition when police found him. He appeared to have been drinking and denied hitting the other car, telling police the damage to his front bumper was old. He told police he’d come from a bar in East Providence where he admitted to have a couple drinks. After failing field sobriety tests, the man was taken into custody and brought to the station for processing where he refused to take the BAC test. It was determined the hit-and-run took place in Warwick, so EG police gave him a district court summons for the DUI and a traffic tribunal summons for refusing the BAC test. Warwick police then took the man into custody to charge him with the hit-and-run.
