HOLDEN, Maine — An off-duty sheriff’s deputy noticed an erratic vehicle on U.S. Route 1A late Tuesday and notified police to be on the lookout for the driver, who was stopped in town, said Holden Police Chief Gene Worcester.
“The vehicle was weaving all over the road,” Worcester said.
Byron Hodgkins, 30, of Bar Harbor was stopped by Sgt. Gene Fizell around 9:30 p.m. and was given a field sobriety test that he failed. Hodgkins then was given an Intoxilyzer test and his blood alcohol was nearly twice the state’s legal limit of 0.08, Worcester said.
Hodgkins was charged with operating under the influence.
I’m glad he was caught before he had the opportunity to hurt someone else!
I weave all over the road daily…so I dont end up at he bottom of a pothole screaming for help.
hahaha
Hopefully he didn’t drive” all over the rosd” all the way from the island. Geesh, close one!
1A is so dangerous. I hate having to use that road every day.
“Bar Harbor man charged with drunken driving after ‘weaving all over the road’ in Holden”.
or should it have read.
Bar Harbor man charged with OUI after ‘weaving all over the road’ in Holden.
Headline said he’s charged with drunken driving but the article says he’s charged with Opperating under the influence.I understand it’s the same but maybe BDN should get it rite,which is the charge,or are you just looking to sensationalise one with the other.
What???
you spelled “RIGHT” wrong
…if your going to nitpick
Thank you for the correction.
