DUI Dishonor Roll

Boat crashes can be as deadly as automobile crashes

The DUIs now come in by land and sea, especially as we head into the inviting outdoor recreation weather.

Either way, operating a heavy machine that goes really fast while under the influence of alcohol in a space where it can interact with innocent citizens is a bad idea.  Really bad.

Because if town police don't get you, the Environmental Police will.



In Eastern Hampshire District Court this morning Steven Paradis had a plea of "not guilty" entered in his behalf.  Since he was hiring his own private attorney Judge John Payne continued his case until June 23rd.

Meanwhile Amherst police arrested Ronald Wutka, age 52, after he crashed his car into a ditch. Mr. Wutka took a standard 24D disposition plea deal offered to 1st time offenders by the Prosecution.

It's a real danger. I remember when someone was killed on the river near Northampton by a drunken yahoo whose boat rammed into them. it was probably about 12-15 years ago.
