Last week the Rhode Island State Police charged a Providence man with DUI and driving without a license after he sideswiped a State Police Cruiser in downtown Providence. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. Back at the State Police barracks the Providence man submitted to a breathalzyer test which rendered readings of 0.205 and 0.200, two and one-half times the legal limit of 0.08. You can read more about this case at the Providence Journal.
