A longtime top aide to Gov. Deval Patrick was busted on drunken driving charges over the weekend and has been put on unpaid leave, the Herald has learned.

Ron Bell, the governor’s $97,000-a-year community affairs director, was arrested at 3:30 a.m. Saturday in Brookline after being stopped for alleged erratic driving, police said.

Police said Bell, 48, was swerving and nearly hit a median strip on Boylston Street before he was pulled over. He had a “moderate” odor of alcohol, his eyes were “glassy and bloodshot,” and he failed three field sobriety tests, according to a police report. Bell refused to take a Breathalyzer test, police said.

I wonder if Lil Barry will handle this the same way he treats illegals: with kid gloves.

Stanley McGee is the "TOP AIDE" arrested some time back for sexual assault on a little boy in a hotel steam room.

This Bell guy simply drives drunk but with Patrick's crowd you just never know what to expect.

Ron Bell
Must be racial profiling (Case dismissed)

It is racist to hold Black people responsible for anything.

“This Bell guy simply drives drunk but with Patrick’s crowd you just never know what to expect.”

He’ll claim he was taking Ambien, too...you’ll see, as the story unfolds.

This is PURE racial hatred by the police acting “stupidly”. Hey...he didn’t hurt anyone. Maybe he should have a lot of beers with nobama and the cops at the White House.
