Police in Cambridge, Mass., gave state Sen. Anthony Galluccio a ride home because acquaintances told them he was too drunk to drive about 13 hours before he was involved in a hit-and-run accident.

Police were called to a gas station in Cambridge about 4:40 a.m. Oct. 4 after receiving a call about an intoxicated man.

The station attendant told police he believed Galluccio was too drunk to drive. Police said another man told them he was trying to drive Galluccio home but couldn't find his house.

Police said they drove Galluccio home in their cruiser.

About 13 hours later, a vehicle driven by Galluccio rear-ended a minivan. Galluccio has said he left the scene because he panicked.

Galluccio did not immediately respond to request for comment Monday.

You are correct! I had to search high and low to find out..

“Galluccio, D-Cambridge, said in a statement that he regretted making “a serious error in judgment” when he left the scene.”

Someone had to continue his legacy......

[GOPsterinMA]

Oh, he’s a Dem. And it’s not the first time he’s had a “bad ice cube”.

The “courtesy” he was provided is usually reserved for LEO’s and judges.

Bet the farm he’ll get re-elected next time up with at least 65% of the vote.

No word on the condition of the people in the minivan???

[subterfuge]

Why are mostly democrats predisposed to driving drunk and hit and run accidents?
