Man Arrested for Fourth OUI, Third in Just Over a Month

MAYNARD, MA — A Maynard man is facing his fourth OUI charge, with the third time police arresting him in just over a month.

Chief Mark Dubois reports that the Maynard Police Department arrested Thomas Madden on Thursday evening for his fourth Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol offense. This is the third time police have arrested the man for OUI in just over a month.

Madden, 43, Maynard, was charged with:

• OUI Liquor (Fourth Offense)

• OUI Related Offense While License Suspended for OUI

• Operating a Motor Vehicle While License Suspended for OUI

• Speeding

• Failure to Display Headlights at Nighttime

• Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle

On Thursday, an officer saw a Madden's sedan traveling at a high rate of speed near 57 Powdermill Road without its headlights on. The officer recognized that the vehicle belonged to Maddden, who had been seen by police earlier that day operating the same car with a suspended license, officials say.

"Fortunately, no one was injured as a result of this individual's reckless decision to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and with a suspended license," Chief Dubois said in a statement. "We have zero tolerance for this behavior and I want to remind residents to never, under any circumstances, get behind the wheel if you have been drinking."

Madden was held on $10,000 bail pending his arraignment at Concord District Court.
