By adamg on Thu, 03/16/2017 - 9:07am
State Police report arresting a Lynn man on OUI charges after he flipped his tractor trailer on its side at the Squantum Street exit on I-93 southbound in Milton around 1:30 a.m.
An investigation by Trooper Christopher Johnson, determined that the operator, Pleitez, 43 of Lynn, lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the attenuator located at the beginning of the off ramp to Exit 10. Pleitez was not injured in the crash. Trooper Johnson determined Pleitez was operating under the influence of liquor and was subsequently placed under arrest.
Pleitez is scheduled for arraignment in Quincy District Court today on charges of OUI, negligent operation and marked lanes violation, State Police say.
Innocent, etc.

That Exit?
Ha Ha Ha. That exit is hard enough to take in a car let alone being plastered up to your curds in an 18 wheeler.
He must have been out of his gouda to do that.
In a related note, Milton people who think they really live in Dover are very upset that people will think that someone from Lynn is allowed to drive through their town.

Some autocarrots are particularly delightful.
Given the reference to curds earlier
I thought it was intentional. I even went back to re-read Adam's text to see if the truck was, in fact, carrying cheese.
I'm kinda cheesed off
That I didn't have that fact, but, yes, he was hauling cheese.

Ah, for whatever reason the original source is blocked at my work so I didn't catch the cheese references. Still works well as a autocorrect of gourd.

Maybe the driver was going to park and get some sleep his truck overnight in Milton to get ready and attend a few open houses in that town today
Operating Under the Influence
Operating Under the Influence of texting, marijuana, opioids, alcohol, blow job, GPS, the list could go on these days. We might have to re-write the law.
I take it you're not involved in the legal system
Or, for that matter, the media, where OUI is specifically shorthand for "operating under the influence of an intoxicating liquor" and where somebody charged with operating under the influence of something else has that something else spelled out.
Just sign me,
Cranky, etc.
We've been through this before
OUI applies to not just liquor, but ANY intoxicating substance (except texting, which is still a slap on the wrist fine with NO surcharge). From MGL, Chapter 90, Section 24:
"Trooper Johnson determined

Cheese run!
He must have been on his way to replenishing the cheese that was emptied from shelves ahead of the storm earlier this week.
What kind of wine goes with
What kind of wine goes with an entire truck's worth of cheese?
40 weight if the truck is a Mack
30 weight if the truck is a Kenworth
