M/V#1 was parked facing south on Chestnut St. awaiting to pull a M/V from an unrelated accident scene, with his yellow hazard light bar activated. A Verizon truck was parked facing north in the northbound lane of Chestnut St. and through traffic was being routed up the westbound side of Amherst St. M/V#2 approached traveling south on Chestnut St., and stopped approx. 100 feet away from M/V#1. It then began to slowly drive up to M/V#1 and attempt to pass between the two parked trucks, at a slow speed, when the right fender of M/V#2 struck the towing rig of M/V#1. The right fender of M/V#2 had damage along the right front wheel well. I was unable to see the extent of the damage to the tow rig. I went to speak to the operator of the M+#2 (who was standing outside to the right of his car) and as I approached him, I observed that he was swaying while standing. I asked the operator (later identified as David Taube-Perrotta) if he was ok, and he only said yeah. I then asked him what had happened, and he just motioned to his car with his right hand. As I stood next to him, I observed his eyes to be glassy and bloodshot. I asked him for his license and registration, and he kept staring towards the car without saying anything. I had to request his license and registration three times before he produced his license from a hip pocket. I then asked again for his registration, and he took approx. five unsteady steps to his passenger side door, opened the door, and almost fell into his car as he bent from the waist. He then stood up, closed the door, and started to return to me, until I told him I needed his registration again. He returned to his door, and again, almost fell into the car as he bent over to open the glove box. As he returned to me he appeared unsteady on his feet. He handed me the registration in a plastic sleeve, and I asked him to remove it from the sleeve. He appeared to have trouble removing the registration. I asked him where he was coming from, he stated that he was coming from Cambridge. I asked where in Cambridge, and he did not reply. I asked him if he had any alcoholic beverages during the evening, he shook his head in an exaggerated manner and stated that he didn't drink tonight. As I spoke more with him, I observed that his speech was slurred. I held my pen up and asked him if he could focus on the tip of pen. Instead of answering he tried to reach out and touch it. I advised him, I just wanted to know if he could focus on it, he stated yes, then raised his finger in an attempt to touch his nose, but instead, touched between his upper lip and nose, then tried to touch the tip of the pen again. I asked him to keep his down, and without moving his head, follow the tip of the pen. As I moved the pen from left to right, he turned his head to follow the pen. I had to remind him several times, to keep his head still, and follow only with his eyes. I asked him if he would be willing to take a field sobriety test, and he declined. I had also observed a small scratch on his forehead, and requested medics to evaluate him. As I took digital pictures of the accident, Taube-Perrotta was seen in the back of a Cataldo Ambulance, while Sgt. Devine observed. When I entered the ambulance, Sgt. Devine informed me that Taube-Perrotta stated that he was at ""The Lizzard Lounge"" in Cambridge earlier in the evening, and admitted that he had a few drinks. In my presence Taube-Perotta stated that he had two drinks, much earlier in the evening. While in the ambulance, Taube-Perrotta had trouble answering common questions by the medics, such as what his middle name was and where he lived. The operator of M/V#2 was placed under arrest for OUI.
