Driver in Cumberland Farms Rollover Charged With DUI

Jay Catalan, 50, 34 Hillside Road, Portsmouth, was arrested, and charged with driving under the influence and refusal to submit to a chemical test after his truck landed on its side at Cumberland Farms Monday.

Portsmouth police and fire officials responded around 4:10 p.m. to the Cumberland Farms near Sprague Street and East Main Road for a report of a "rollover." 

Police say Catalan was operating the vehicle southbound on East Main Road when he attempted to make a turn onto Sprague Street. Catalan lost control of the vehicle, which landed on its side. 

Officers detected a strong aroma of alcohol coming from the driver. 

Catalan was transported by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital, where he allegedly refused a Breathalyzer test. He was also treated for non-life threatening injuries.

He received a summons at the hospital to appear in court on May 23.
