Too Slow, Too Fast Maneuvers Lead To DUI Arrests In Stafford

STAFFORD, CT — State police made two weekend drunken driving arrests on Route 190 in Stafford — one involving a driver going too fast and another for a driver not going at all.

At 10:38 p.m. on Friday, state police pulled over a car driven by 28-year-old Joshua Zamora after Zamora passed another vehicle in a no-passing zone on Route 190, just east of the Route 19 intersection, state police said. According to a report, a trooper smelled alcohol on Zamora's breath and noticed his eyes were "glossy and bloodshot," according to a report.

Zamora, of Conroe, TX, subsequently falied a series of field sobriety tests and was charged with driving under the influence and a passing zone violation, according to a report.

At 3:50 p.m. on Feb. 3, state police charged Jessica Libiszewski, 24, of Sturbridge, MA, with improper parking and driving under the influence, according to a report.

State police went to the area on Route 190 near Basil's restaurant after receiving reports about a car stopped on the westbound lane. When asked by state police why she was parked in the road, Libiszewski allegedly responded by saying she "did not want to drive drunk anymore," according to a report.

She was then arrested after failing sobriety tests at the scene, according to a report.
