A lieutenant with the Weston Fire Department has been convicted of a Massachusetts drunk driving charge, according to the MetroWest Daily News.
A Framingham District Court judge found Lt. Christopher MacMillan guilty of second offense Massachusetts OUI and negligent driving. A charge of leaving the scene of an accident was dismissed.
He was arrested on Feb. 3 after police say he drove along the railroad tracks downtown and got his car stuck in the mud near a drainage pond.
Under Massachusetts Law (Chapter 90 Section 24), a second OUI offense is punishable by a license suspension for two years, up to 2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
His defense attorney made a motion for the dismissal of all charges during a bench trial on Thursday. One decision any OUI attorney in Massachusetts must discuss is whether to proceed with a bench or jury trial. Often the decision can be a difficult decision based on the attorney's experience with a particular judge and the likely composition of the jury pool.
