A HN CHRISTMAS POEM: Elf locked up when out on Rte. 132 arose such...

HYANNIS – Not a creature was stirring, not one single call,
as a patrolman watched traffic out by the mall.
The bars had just emptied, the party had ended,
as some still would drive, after concoctions well blended.
While law abiding citizens were nestled, all snug in their beds,
“yutes” still caroused, as sweet nothings danced in their heads.
The roads, sort of quiet, there was “nothing a matter,”
When suddenly, out on Route 132 arose such a clatter.
A car just drove by, with three good tires — not four,
the patrolman hit the blues, pushed the peddle to the floor.
Away toward the North, he flew like a flash,
pulled over the driver (though she thought it quite brash),
“License and registration,” he asked with intent,
As the driver wondered where the good times had went.

……….

At about 1:30 am this morning, Patrolman Keith Sexton of the Barnstable Police Department heard the loud racket of a vehicle driving along with a flat tire. Suspicious, he followed the vehicle to investigate.

The car had a flat front right tire and was eventually pulled over in front of Sam Diego’s on Rte. 132.

When the driver stepped out she was wearing a Santa’s helper costume. It was cold and she quickly put on an overcoat as she spoke with officers.

After a brief investigation, the female driver was arrested for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle under the influence. She was transported back to BPD Headquarters and her vehicle was towed.

HN NOTE: As we approach Christmas there will be some who may take the risk of driving after having libations. Please do yourself and everyone else a favor – DON’T!

During the holidays, HN makes an extra effort to document and publish all drunk driving investigations. So don’t be naughty, drive sober and nice — or call a freakin’ cab!

This has been a HN public service announcement…

Let’s have a safe Christmas season, don’t drink and drive!

“Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” 😉
