Arlington Man Charged With 3rd OUI

ARLINGTON, MA – An Arlington man faces his third drunken driving charge following a crash on Dow Avenue Friday evening. Officers arrived around 6:30 p.m. and found two cars facing opposite directions with damage to their front passenger sides, according to the police report.

One of the cars was unoccupied; the other had been driven by 32-year-old Nevin Guarino, police said. Guarino was standing in front of his car and told officers he hit a parked car while looking at his phone, according to police.

Guarino said he had been at a bar in Chelmsford with a friend and was on his way home. He told officers he had "about four beers" and had slurred speech, bloodshot and glassy eyes and smelled like alcohol, according to the police report.

Guarino agreed to participate in the field sobriety tests but did not submit to a breath test, police said. He was arrested based on the results and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol (third offense), negligent operation of a motor vehicle and sending/reading an electronic message while operating a vehicle.
