A 56-year-old Arlington man was arrested Sunday afternoon outside the Dunkin’ Donuts on Broadway and charged with operating under the influence for the fourth time.

George Pesiridis, of Russell Street, was arrested at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday. In addition to his fourth drunken driving charge, he was also charged with having an open container in a motor vehicle, according to police.

Police responded to the scene after receiving an anonymous call that a drunk man had just parked outside Dunkin’ Donuts and gone into the store.

An officer then spotted the car, which was still running, blocking the East Cambridge Savings Bank parking lot.

A passenger in the car told the officer Pesiridis had been driving, according to police. Pesiridis then exited the Dunkin’ Donuts. He smelled of alcohol and couldn’t stay on his feet, police said.

An officer allegedly found a bottle of vodka on the floor of the driver’s seat. Pesiridis failed field sobriety tests at the scene and refused a breath test, according to police.
