Officials said the charges stem from an Aug. 29 incident where 44-year-old Joseph Patrick Murray was pulled over on Telegraph Road, near Dartmouth Street, for speeding and reportedly drunk driving. Officials said Murray was seen weaving in and out of traffic before the traffic stop.
Police said they performed a field sobriety test after Murray refused a breathalyzer and he was taken into custody.
