Narragansett Woman Charged With Drunken Driving

Lori M. Munson, 45, of 9 Brown St., Apt. #A, Narragansett, was arrested at about 12:44 a.m. on March 28 and charged with drunken driving and possession of marijuana, and cited for refusing to submit to a chemical test.

According to police, an officer monitoring traffic on Boston Neck Road near the Overlook Development Center clocked a gold Dodge van at 48 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone.

Police noted that as the officer attempted to catch up to the van, it was also clocked at 67 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone near Anawan Cliff Drive, and 70 miles per hour at the Sprague Bridge.

According to police, a traffic stop was made near Wood Avenue. Police said that when asked about her driving, Munson told them, “I was only going 45.”

Police said Munson’s eyelids were droopy, her pupils were constricted, and she smelled lightly of alcohol. As a result, they asked Munson to consent to field sobriety tests, which police said she failed. At this point, she was arrested.

According to police, an inventory of Munson’s van revealed a small baggie of marijuana and a bottle of Smirnoff Vodka that was three-quarters empty. Police also noted that a cup in the van’s cup holder had a liquid that field tested positive for alcohol.

Police said that Munson refused to submit to chemical breath tests. Police noted that from about 12:47 a.m. to 1:24 a.m., and 4:10 a.m. to 5:18 a.m., Munson was treated at South County Hospital after complaining of health issues.

According to police, Munson was held for arraignment at Fourth Division District Court at 9 a.m.

Cranston Man Arrested for Warrant

Joshua J. Plumb, 23, of 15 Mayflower Drive, Cranston, was arrested at about 1:22 a.m. on March 27. Police said a Third Division District Court was out for Plumb’s arrest.

According to police, an officer monitoring traffic on Lakeside Drive near Bridgetown Road clocked a gold Jeep Cherokee at 40 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. A traffic stop was made on Boston Neck Road near CVS.

Police said a background check of the driver – Plumb – revealed the warrant, which was issued for failing to appear at a March 15 court hearing for a Warwick police charge of domestic assault.

According to police, Plumb was arrested without incident. Two passengers in the car walked home, and Plumb’s Jeep was towed from the scene.

Police said Plumb was processed at headquarters and held for arraignment at Fourth Division District Court at 9 a.m.
