POSTED: Tuesday, December 26, 2006
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Manchester police said they nabbed a man who was caught driving while intoxicated for the fourth time.
Police said they tried pulling over Patrick Allain, 35, on Bridge Street on Monday night but he refused to stop. Officials said that when police finally did stop Allain, they found him drinking a 40-ounce bottle of beer, which he continued to drink as officers confronted him.
As officers arrested him, two other drivers told police that Allain had hit them and not stopped, police said.
Police said that when he was booked, Allain told officers, "You can charge me with whatever you want. It's not going to stop me from drinking and driving."
Allain faces a number of charges, officials said.
