REHOBOTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A Dighton woman is facing a drunken driving charge after police say she was caught intoxicated behind the wheel with an open container and a child passenger in Rehoboth late Wednesday night.
Officers responding to a report of an erratic operator in the area of County Street just before midnight stopped a blue Chevy pickup truck for committing a traffic infraction on Route 44, according to the Rehoboth Police Department.
The driver, Barbara Lawrence, 42, was arrested after allegedly failing a series of field sobriety tests.
She was released on public recognizance pending her arraignment Thursday in Taunton District Court on charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, child endangerment while operating while under the influence and possessing an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle.
