Cops Spot Car Damage, Arrest Drunk Driver

Braintree police spotted Stephen La, 30, of Randolph driving on Granite Street with what appeared to be fresh damage from an accident early Sunday morning.

A piece of La's Infinity EX35 – the rear bumper – was extending out from the vehicle, and so officer Kenneth Murphy pulled him over and immediately suspected La was intoxicated.

"La agreed to perform several sobriety tests and at the conclusion of the tests he was placed under arrest," Deputy Chief Russell Jenkins said in a press release. "Once at the police station, La agreed to take a breath test and recorded a reading almost twice the legal limit."

The legal limit is 0.08 percent.

He was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
