DUI Dishonor Role

APD administers FST on Sunday 4:15 PM


Yesterday around 4:00 PM, among a swarm of returning college students, one young lady called 911 to report an "erratic driver" in a gray mini van coming towards town center from the north (Pine/Bridge streets).

The van took a left on East Pleasant Street and assumed a straight line course, although occasionally "all over the road," towards the heart of a bustling downtown Amherst.

Amherst police intercepted the vehicle at the very outskirts of town center and had her pull over in the parking lot of "The Pub," where they administered a "Field Sobriety Test".  She failed. 

Arrested for Driving Under the Influence, Operating to endanger and reckless driving:

Maria C. Domenici, 229 Leverett Rd, Shutesbury, MA, age 64

  1. You don't have to be a college kid to get drunk although odds are good your less responsible when younger. What does this arrest say about this old lady?

  3. I don't drink but I am getting older and I like it. Everyone makes a mistake. She made hers.

  4. And she will get a second chance.

    I worry about the innocent folks interacting -- through no fault of their own -- with a drunk driver, and NOT getting a second chance.
