YARMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A Connecticut man accused of refusing to pull over for a Yarmouth police officer Sunday afternoon is facing a third drunken-driving offense, police said.
An officer who tried to stop a motorist seen driving 64 mph in a 40 mph zone about 3:13 p.m. said the driver kept going a mile down Townbrook Road before pulling over, according to a Yarmouth Police Department press release issued Monday morning.
The driver, Patrick Benner, 36, of Waterbury, was arrested on charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, third offense, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stop for police.
He is expected to be arraigned Monday in Barnstable District Court.
