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.

If I lived in New Haven, (CT, MI, or NY), I would be stone drunk most of the time, too. It is not even Thanksgiving and we already have snow in PA. Six more months of winter.

Brett Harris is the guy on the far right of the photo wearing the glasses.

Well, at least in New Haven, CT you can get an excellent pizza to go with your beer.

How can you have four DUI convictions and still keep your license? You don't need a license to drive a car. Like most repeat drunk drivers, he probably hasn't had one in years.

A modern Vespa could do 80 mph, no problem, but I would want to be sober while I did it. I always had a 12-hour bottle-to-throttle rule back when I was riding motorcycles and motor scooters. ‘Course in those days, what with all the drinking, there were precious few windows of time where I could go riding...
I had a friend who used to race vintage Lambrettas. You would be surprised how fast they can go.

Looks like Michael Moore’s dorky younger brother, striving to live up to his big brother’s expectations.

Michigan?! So there is a Utica, Michigan as well?! Geez, can’t these people come up with new names for their towns? It’s almost as bad as Illinois (which has, Ohio, Peru, Genoa, Bridgeport, Albany and Allentown, among many others)

Whats up with the accuracy to the thousandth? Some sort of criminal defense attorneys employment provision? They use the third digit as a tie-breaker in the Standings.

Bah. Never needed the tie-breaker. I take advantage of the Mercy Rule.

Investigators say Harris has four prior convictions for driving under the influence. How many were on a snowmobile?

Hall road in Utica is a 45 mph revenue enhancement zone. 50 will get you pulled over there. What a moron trying to pull off driving at 80.

Got one of these?
Well, of course! Haven't you ever heard of the movie "Christmas in Connecticut?"
Actually, in Connecticut we had to settle for Bethlehem. (Which is the TRUE meaning of Christmas) There are other Bethlehems, but the Connecticut one (1673) is the oldest.
