EG Woman Charged With DUI

Patricia Marie Joyce, 57, of 230 Chestnut Drive in East Greenwich, was arrested April 29 at 9:43 p.m. on charges of drunken driving.

North Kingstown police received a notice from the Rhode Island State Police that an intoxicated woman was getting into her car at Inside Scoop. An officer then began to follow Joyce, allegedly observing her swerving in and out of her lane. According to reports, Joyce turned on her high beams even though cars were coming toward her.

When police told Joyce she was being pulled over on suspected drunken driving, reports say she sarcastically responded “Oh please!” multiple times. Joyce gave the officer her registration after he asked for that along with her license and proof of insurance. According to police, Joyce went back to eating her ice cream before police prompted her again for the additional documents.

After failing her field sobriety test, Joyce then took a preliminary breath test with her blood alcohol content allegedly measuring at .132.

She is set to appear in Fourth District Court on May 17.
