A 40-year-old Seekonk man faces a Massachusetts drunk driving charge after being arrested following a brief foot chase in South Attleboro.
The Maple Avenue man was arrested near midnight Friday after an Attleboro Patrolman spotted a car driving at a high rate of speed, the Sun Chronicle reported.
The vehicle reportedly fishtailed several times before coming to a stop. The defendant then allegedly fled on foot toward the railroad tracks near Bacon and Lord streets. Police say he was hiding in tall grass when he was found and arrested.
He is charged with failure to stop for police, having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle, operating under the influence of alcohol, and driving with a revoked license. He was transported to Sturdy Memorial Hospital over the weekend after complaining of chest pains unrelated to the arrest, police reported.
