RAMSEY, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man was arrested twice in one day on charges of driving while intoxicated.
NorthJersey.com reports Richard Haskell, 71, was first arrested early one recent morning when police in Ramsey found him sleeping in his parked car near a pond with a bottle of alcohol between his legs. He was given a field sobriety test and failed. He was later released.
That afternoon, police say Haskell drove to the police department to see if his car from the earlier arrest would be released. Officers performed another field sobriety test, and Haskell's blood-alcohol level was still over the legal limit.
He was charged with a second DWI.
