Smithfield Woman Charged With DWI

Judy Diane Thalmann, 49, of 152 Pleasant View Ave., Smithfield, was arrested at about 2:18 a.m. on May 26 and charged with drunken driving and refusing to submit to a chemical test.

According to police, an officer following a car driven by Thalmann clocked it at 53 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone on Point Judith Road near the South Pier Road intersection.

Police said that the car initially drove toward the Route 1 onramp when the light turned green. However, without a signal, it then jerked left and went back on to Point Judith Road instead.

At that point, police said they attempted to make a traffic stop. They noted that the car hit the right-hand curb, jerked back into the breakdown lane, and then finally went up on the curb right before Washington Trust Bank and stopped.

According to police, Thalmann smelled strongly of alcohol. Police noted an open bottle of wine on the passenger side of the car. When asked where she was, Thalmann allegedly told police, “Somewhere between North Kingstown and West Warwick.”

Police said Thalmann failed field sobriety tests, at which point she was arrested. According to police, Thalmann refused to submit to chemical tests at headquarters, and also had to be shown multiple times how to operate a telephone. She was arraigned and released at 10 a.m.

New Hampshire Man Charged With Suspended License

James Snee, 23, of 12 Hadley Drive, Nashua, NH, was arrested at about 12:30 a.m. on May 26 and charged with driving with a suspended license.

According to police, an officer monitoring traffic saw a car pass by his location on Boston Neck Road with a defective rear plate light. A traffic stop was made on Old Boston Neck Road.
