Apparent Joyride Leads to Two Citations for Groton, CT Teenagers

According to police, erratic driving by a Groton, CT teenager led to the citation of two 16-year-olds.

Police said they received several reports of a blue Dodge driving erratically on Route 1. An officer saw a car matching the description near the government center, and made a traffic stop shortly north of that area on Route 1.

According to police, during the stop, one of the boys – the driver – kept trying to fidget with something under the seat. As a result, he was placed into custody, as was a passenger.

A search of the vehicle revealed a bottle of Skye vodka, which one boy said was his. He was cited for possession of alcohol by a minor.

Police said a background check revealed that none of the boys had an active license. The driver was cited for driving without a license. However, the owner of the car – a family member of the driver – did not wish to press charges for theft.

The boys were released to the custody of their parents.

West Kingston Woman Charged With DWI

Christine A. Gould, 44, of 3778 South County Trail, West Kingston, was arrested at about 11:54 p.m. on June 29 and charged with driving while intoxicated.

According to South Kingstown police, they arrived on scene at the Village at Worden’s Pond to meet with Charlestown police, who had stopped Gould’s car. Charlestown police said that Gould had been in a motor vehicle accident in their town, with the witness identifying her car.

South Kingstown police said that Gould was heavily intoxicated, and kept speaking about problems between her neighbors and family members. Police said she was too intoxicated to even attempt field sobriety tests, and she was arrested without incident.

According to police, while in the police squad car Gould told them that they couldn’t arrest her in her home. When police asked her if the squad car was her home, she allegedly told them yes, yes it was.

Police said Gould fell asleep during the drive to the station. Police said she made a phone call at headquarters, and then was asked to submit to a chemical test. She allegedly told police, “Oh, I know I’ll fail that,” and refused to take a chemical test.

Police said that Charlestown officers picked Gould up for booking in their town at about 2:50 a.m. At about 5:39 a.m., South Kingstown police were faxed a witness report from a Charlestown officer.

The officer said that he drove into South Kingstown in an attempt to find Gould’s car. The officer said he found the car at the intersection of Worden’s Pond Road and Leisure Drive.

The officer said the car was not moving but also not in park, with Gould slumped over the steering wheel facing the passenger seat.
