An East Providence, R.I. man was arrested in Seekonk for allegedly driving drunk for the 11th time.
Vernon Perry, 52, was spotted around 1:20 Saturday morning by Seekonk Patrol Officer Eric Chalifoux driving quickly down Taunton Avenue.
The officer captured Perry’s 2001 Saturn on radar at 52 mph in a 40 zone, and then he noticed the car crossing the double yellow line.
Perry failed several field sobriety tests and was arrested for operating under the influence and negligent operation of a motor vehicle and cited for speeding and failure to stay within marked lanes.
According to driving records, Perry is a habitual offender with 10 prior drunk driving charges on his record.
He will be arraigned in Taunton District Court on Monday.
