 DUI

At 8:07 p.m., May 19, a Lyft Driver called police to report one of his fares was allegedly intoxicated, and drove away after getting dropped off.

Warwick Police were notified of a possibly intoxicated driver that just left the Grid Iron Ale House, 1599 Post Road.

“The reporting party, a Lyft Driver, picked up an intoxicated male, dropped him off at Grid Iron Ale House and watched him walk to his vehicle and drive south on Post Road,” Warwick Police Officer Justin N. Martin wrote in the arrest report. The driver gave police the vehicle’s make and model, a gray 2009 Ford Flex, and registration.

The driver told police the vehicle was entering Route 95 North from the Airport Connector.

Martin took the same route, found the vehicle and started to follow the driver in the far right lane.

“I observed the vehicle cross over the solid white fog line with both its passenger side front and rear tires,” Martin wrote. “I followed the vehicle for a little over a mile as I waited for a safe place to conduct a motor vehicle stop. While following the vehicle, it maintained a slow speed that was significantly slower than normal traffic around him and he continuously was swerving to the left and right in his lane.”

Martin stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as Kevin Cahill, 38, of 31 Philmont Ave., Cranston.

“Immediately while speaking with Cahill, I observed his eyes to be droopy and his speech to be slurred,” Martin wrote.

Warwick Police Sgt. Derek Mourato, assigned to the Driving Under the Influence detail, was dispatched to the scene.

Cahill submitted to a series of standardized field sobriety tests.

Cahill was arrested for Suspicion of DUI. His vehicle was towed from the scene. He was also cited with a Laned Roadway violation.

At 9:05 p.m., Cahill consented to a chemical breath test. Police said the sample tested over the legal limit for alcohol. Cahill was ultimately charged with DUI Drugs/Alcohol (Second Offense, 0.15 BAC or Greater)
