Weekend OUI Arrests in Newton

NEWTON, MA – Two men were arrested last weekend in separate OUI-related incidents, according to Newton police records.

Devin Campbell, 27, of East Longmeadow, was arrested Friday, Feb. 24 after police responded to reports of a driver asleep at the wheel at the intersection of Gate House Road and Beacon Street. Police said the car, a white 2016 Ford Focus, was parked about six feet from the curb and the driver was slumped over with his head resting on his chest.

Officers believed Campbell to be intoxicated and placed him under arrest. He is charged with operating under the influence of liquor.

On Sunday, Feb. 26, Joseph Kelly, 45, of Northborough, was arrested and charged with his second OUI offense. Police were driving on Commonwealth Avenue when they saw a silver Acura TL stopped facing eastbound in the carriage lane. According to police, the lane is restricted to westbound travel and the car was parked facing east directly under a "Do Not Enter" sign.

The vehicle was still running and its lights were on, police said. Officers examined the car and noted that both wheels on the passenger side were damaged and the tires were flat, leading police to believe the vehicle had struck a curb.

Police spoke with Kelly and placed him under arrest. He has been charged with operating under the influence of alcohol – second offense.
