Man Arrested for Third OUI and Having Open Container

A Hudson man reportedly smelled of alcohol and was swaying after he was pulled over by Marlborough Police early Wednesday morning.

"Mr. Bradlee told me he had two beers and a shot of tequila within the last hour and a half. Mr. Bradlee had a flushed appearance and (red) bloodshot eyes," wrote Marlborough Police Officer Rafael Faria in his report.

Faria had pulled over Timothy M. Bradlee, 43, of 10 Cayuga Dr. in Hudson shortly after 2 a.m. after he observed Bradlee's vehicle leave the Half Way Bar and Restaurant and proceed down the road above the speed limit. Before he pulled Bradlee over, Faria reportedly saw the vehicle cross into the other lane twice.

"I observed all signs of an intoxicated person including the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emenating from his breath and vehicle," said Faria of Bradlee who reportedly failed field sobriety tests and refused a breathalyzer.

Upon searching the vehicle police reportedly found a half full Coors Light that was still cold to the touch and two bottles of wine that had previously been open and were corked. All were within reach of Bradlee, according to court documents.

Bradlee was arrested on Boston Post Road East and charged with a subsequent offense of operating a motor vehicle with a suspended licence, a third offense of operating under the influence of liquor, possessing an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle, marked lanes violation and missing a registration sticker.

He was released on $1,000 bail Wednesday. His previous OUIs were received in Westborough in 2000 and Maine in 2006. His next court appearance will be in June for a pretrial hearing.
