PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – A Cumberland man has been charged with drunken driving four times in two days.
The Providence Journal reports that John Lourenco was arrested once in Providence on Sunday and three times in Cumberland on Monday. Police say he crashed into three cars and a tree.
Following the first three arrests, the 53-year-old Lourenco was released with summonses to the custody of his parents. After the fourth crash, he was held for arraignment at District Court on Tuesday.
Lourenco’s pickup truck crashed into a Pawtucket family’s SUV on Sunday and injured two small children.
Police say he was treated at Rhode Island Hospital, where he was put in restraints after threatening an officer and tossing a bottle of urine at the staff.
It was not known Wednesday if he’s represented by a lawyer.
