The mayor of New Haven has been arrested on drunk driving charges for the fifth time after Utica police say they caught him racing down Hall Road -- with a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.
Utica police say they clocked Brett Harris driving at 82 mph just before 4 a.m. Sunday. He failed five field sobriety tests and when given a breathlyzer, registered a .206 blood alcohol level.
Investigators say Harris has four prior convictions for driving under the influence.

.21 is respectable. What’s up with the accuracy to the thousandth? Some sort of criminal defense attorney’s employment provision?

I have had contact with the Utica police before, if he thought he could talk his way out of an arrest by THEM because he is a mayor then he is even dumber than should ever hold elected office.

Mickey Rourke got arrested last week for driving a Vespa when he blew a .081 - That is getting pretty chicken sh*t in my book, he could still probably out drive 99% of most teenagers that zip around on those things.

I had to read the article to figure out that it is NOT the mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, but some podunk village in New York state.

Mickey Rourke got arrested last week for driving a Vespa when he blew a .081 Wonderful, isn't it? This assclown is out driving with a .206 for his FIFTH arrest, but the authorities have lowered the bar to .08. They can't even keep the real problems off of the road.

New Haven Michigan. I spent a winter working in Michigan several years ago. In Michigan, drinking is a sport that is taken very seriously.....

Not that smart, though. All the smart elected officials know to refuse the breathalyzer.

A VESPA!?!!!????
You mean one of those 1960’s ish VESPAs????
One of those micro car VESPAs?
I didn’t think those things could go past 50 mph, much less 80.
