CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire State Police have accused a man of drunken driving after a trooper saw his pickup truck travel through a special fuel pump area used by state, county and municipal vehicles, then drift from side to side.
Police say Trooper Irwin Malilay had just completed fueling his cruiser at the pumps on Sunday night when he saw the truck, which went back onto the road and crossed the center line.
Malilay stopped the truck. A breath test indicated the driver, identified as 26-year-old Henry McPherson of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, had a blood-alcohol level of over three times the limit of .08 percent.
McPherson was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated. He’s scheduled to be in court on April 10. It couldn’t be verified whether he had a lawyer.
