Falmouth Firefighter Cops To OUI In Crash With Police Car

FALMOUTH, MA — A Falmouth firefighter will undergo an alcohol education program after admitting to sufficient facts in a charge of operating under the influence. Jay Frisbee, 37, of East Falmouth, crashed into a police cruiser June 24 after driving into a section of road that was shut down, the Cape Cod Times reported.

Frisbee went over a curb and crashed into a police car parked in the intersection, Falmouth Police Chief Edward Dunne told the Times. The officer was not injured.

Frisbee apologized many times and told police he had had "a few" when asked if he had been drinking, according to police records cited by the Times. Officers arrested him after giving him a field sobriety test and found two empty Smirnoff nips and a 19.2-once can of White Claw Hard Seltzer with "a sip or two left," the police report stated.

Frisbee admitted to charges of operating under the influence and negligent operation of a motor vehicle and was found not responsible for speeding an operating an unregistered motor vehicle. He will undergo a driver alcohol education program and have his license suspended for 45 days. Frisbee was placed on administrative leave from the fire department pending an investigation.
