OVER THE LIMIT … UNDER ARREST IN MATTAPANAt about 3:18am, on July 7, 2008, officers from Area B-3 (Mattapan) observed a dark purple-colored Honda traveling inbound in the area of 1336 Blue Hill Avenue. Officers observed that the motor vehicle had extensive front-end damage including a front bumper that appeared to be recently torn from the vehicle. As a result of these observations, officers activated their emergency equipment (lights & sirens) and stopped the car. While talking to the operator of the motor vehicle, officers detected an odor of alcohol emanating from within the car. When officers asked the operator to explain the damage to his car, the driver stated, \”I don’t know.\” Officers further observed the operator to have slurred speech and glassy eyes. As a result of the officer’s observations, a field sobriety test was administered. Given the operator’s inability to perform and pass the test, officers arrested Kemar Scott, 21, of Dorchester and charged him with Operating Under the Influence (Alcohol) and Leaving the Scene After Causing Property Damage.
