Charges of OUI Against School Administrator to be Dismissed and Reckless Operation and Leaving the Scene With Property Damage Dismissed

In July of last year, police in a suburban Boston town were involved in a motor vehicle accident with our client. They claimed that while responding to a domestic disturbance they heard a loud crash. The officer looked towards the noise and saw that a minivan had struck his cruiser. The operator was still in gear and the police ordered him to turn off the engine. He complied. The officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from our client. He asked our client to get out of the car and had him perform basic field sobriety tests. He failed all of them. He was arrested and taken to the station where he was booked and charged with OUI, G.L. c. 90 section 24  and negligent operation of a motor vehicle, also G.L. c. 90 section 24 as well as leaving the scene of an accident under G.L. c. 90 section 24. All charges with the exception of the OUI were dismissed. The OUI charge was continued without a finding (CWOF) under the 24D program. Once our client successfully completes his probationary conditions the charges will be dismissed.
