DUI

On Feb. 8 at 2:03 a.m., a Warwick police officer on patrol noticed a car being driven irregularly. Upon checking the car and realizing it was listed as unregistered, the officer conducted a traffic stop.

The driver, 26-year-old Abigail Behm of Coventry, told the officer that the vehicle was registered to her grandmother, and provided proper registration. Her eyes, however, were bloodshot and watery, and the officer reportedly noticed a red Solo cup, which he said contained a clear alcoholic beverage.

The officer escorted Behm to a paved parking lot to conduct field sobriety tests. After failing them, Behm was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. While she was at the police station, a breath test indicated she had a blood-alcohol content of .195. During a further search of Behm’s vehicle, officers found a four-pack of wine coolers and a bottle of vodka.

There was a passenger in the car for whom Cranston police had issued an arrest warrant. She was taken into custody and turned over to the CPD.

DUI

On Feb. 8 at 2:45 a.m., a WPD officer noticed a car stopped at a green light on Bald Hill Road. As the car remained stationary, the officer approached the car and tapped on the driver’s-side window.

The driver, 42-year-old Jonathan Rodriguez of West Warwick, said he didn’t notice that he was stopped at the green light; reportedly, his speech was slurred and his motor skills were delayed. Rodriguez told the officer that he was returning home from the house of a friend in Narragansett, and admitted to having had three beers at the house.

The officer asked Rodriguez to conduct field sobriety tests, which he agreed to. About halfway through the second test, Rodriguez stood in one place for an extended period of time, repeatedly saying “I’m f***ed” and “I’m drunk.”

Rodriguez was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. While at the police station, a breath test revealed that he had a blood alcohol content of .101.

DUI

On Feb. 10 at 12:14 a.m., a WPD officer noticed a car drifting over the lane marker, nearly colliding with another car in an adjacent lane on Post Road. After noticing that and seeing the car driving 20 mph under the speed limit on the Airport Connector, the officer conducted a traffic stop.

The driver, 44-year-old Floyd Varner of Lawrence, Massachusetts, said he was attempting to put his seatbelt on, which is what caused him to swerve. After the officer pointed out that his seat belt was off, Varner said that he took it off once he was pulled over. He told the officer that he was leaving a friend’s Valentine’s Day party in West Warwick.

The officer asked Varner if he had been drinking; reportedly, he told the officer that he had consumed “two beers and a drink.” Following that, another officer conducted field sobriety tests. After failing the tests, Varner was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. He refused to take a breath test.

Additionally, Varner’s car’s registration had been suspended since November, so he was also charged with operating a motor vehicle with a suspended registration.

DRIVING WITH SUSPENDED LICENSE

On Feb. 11 at 10:26 a.m., a WPD officer on patrol noticed a man driving while holding a cellphone up to his head.

The officer pulled over the man, identified as 37-year-old Brian Boulet from East Providence. Boulet told the officer that he was on the phone with his boss. When asked for his license and registration, Boulet said his driver’s license had been suspended.

Boulet was arrested and charged with driving with a suspended license, fourth+ offense.
