On Friday, March 2, 2018 at approximately 8PM, the Yarmouth Police Department Dispatch Center received a 911 call regarding an intoxicated female in a vehicle with a child in the back seat in the area of Route 6A near Strawberry Lane in Yarmouthport.
Yarmouth Police Department Patrol Officer Brian Niezgoda arrived and found a red Volvo, Massachusetts registration 6GR664 mostly in the roadway, blocking traffic, in front of the Compass Rose Inn.
Vehicles traveling had to go into the oncoming lane to get around the Volvo. The vehicle was running and the brake lights would go on and off as if the operator was stepping on the brake.
Officer Niezgoda encountered the operator and noticed a young child in the back of the vehicle in a car seat.
Additional Police Officers arrived and took care of the child as the operator was interviewed.
The operator admitted to drinking nips—was given Field Sobriety Tests—and was found to be highly intoxicated.
Patrol Officer David Dickey located 15 full Expresso Vodka nips in her vehicle and 6 empty ones.
The operator was placed under arrest and transported to Yarmouth Police Department Headquarters for booking
The empty and full nip bottles taken as evidence were brought back to YPD and logged into evidence.
The vehicle was towed by Mid Cape Collision.
The child was taken care of by Police Officers at YPD Headquarters until members of the Massachusetts Department of Children of Families arrived and took custody.
The operator is scheduled to be arraigned in the Barnstable District Court today.
