FRAMINGHAM, MA — A 41-year-old from Douglas was arrested this week along the Mass Pike in Framingham for driving drunk at nearly five-times the legal limit, according to state police. The man was spotted driving erratically in the eastbound lanes near 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. When a trooper pulled him over, he noticed the driver had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and smelled like alcohol. The driver failed four sobriety tests, and was taken in a cruiser to the Weston state police barracks. He fell asleep during the short ride, police said. A breath test later determined his blood-alcohol level was 0.36, well above the 0.08 limit. The driver was charged with OUI-liquor and negligent operation of a vehicle, according to state police.
