A tough start to the holidays for Woodbridge selectman James Sabshin. He was arrested Wednesday in Hamden, accused of driving drunk and leading police on a chase.
Police say he refused to pull over, side-swiped a guardrail twice and swerved between the right lane and shoulder before finally pulling over. Sabshin is due in court next month.
Meanwhile, State troopers continue to patrol all roads and highways across Connecticut to focus on more drunk driving violations.
Since the Thanksgiving holiday weekend started, troopers have issued more than 522 speeding tickets and 293 seat belt violations.
Troopers have also made 31 DUI arrests and responded to 147-accidents. Two have been deadly.
