3rd DUI Arrest For Plymouth Woman: Police

YARMOUTH, MA — Cape Cod police on Wednesday charged a Plymouth woman with her third drunk-driving offense. Lauren Rademacher, 29, was arrested Wednesday night. Harwich police officers said they noticed Rademacher driving erratically as they returned from transporting a prisoner to Cape Cod Hospital in an unrelated case, authorities said.

"The Police Officers observed the vehicle crossing over the center lines, operating dangerously, with the potential of a head on collision," Yarmouth police said in a statement.

The Harwich officers stopped Rademacher and contacted Yarmouth police, who arrived at the scene and conducted a field sobriety test. Rademacher failed the test and was charged with drunk driving, negligent driving and a lane violation, police said.

Rademacher was arraigned Thursday in Barnstable District Court and released on bail.

"The Yarmouth Police Department commends Harwich Police Officers Brendan Bickley and Derek Dutra for ... taking quick and decisive action that prevented a serious crash and protected members of the community ... and subsequently led to the arrest of a three time drunken driver," Yarmouth police said.
