Fairfield Man, 28, Charged with DUI After Car Gets Two Flat Tires

A 28-year-old Fairfield man was charged with driving under the influence after an accident in which his car was damaged and two of his tires were flat, according to a report in the Westport News, which got its information from Westport police.

Westport police gave this account (an accusation not proven in court) of the incident, according to the newspaper:

David Douglas of Flora Boulevard drove his vehicle into the parking lot at Bridge Square at the intersection of Bridge Street and Riverside Avenue, where police were sent by a 7 p.m. report of a possibly intoxicated male. Douglas didn’t pass police-administered field sobriety tests, his driver’s license appeared to have been suspended, and he’d been operating the vehicle with unsafe tires.

Douglas was charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license and driving with unsafe tires. He was released later on $1,000 bond.
