Man Showed Up Drunk To Tow Drunk Driver's Car: MSP

BARNSTABLE, MA – A tow truck driver was drunk when he was called to pick up an OUI suspect's car on Rt. 28, state police said.

Troopers called Capeway Towing to tow Patricia O'Donnell's car around 2:20 a.m. on Saturday after the 51-year-old Marston Mills resident was charged with operating under the influence of liquor.

Capeway Towing's driver, Brandon Fenton, was earlier seen allegedly swerving over the solid white center lines and off the right side of the road, nearly striking a pole. A Hyannis News journalist driving on Willow Street and Yarmouth Road recorded the truck with his dash cam, police said.

Troopers placed the 25-year-old Hyannis man under arrest at the scene and charged him with operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and committing a marked lanes violation.

Fenton and O'Donnell were bailed on personal recognizance and arraigned in Barnstable District Court Monday.
