SIEREEN ALSARABI, AGE 27, of BEVERLY, was arrested and charged with the following:
- OUI Liquor
- Negligent Operation of Motor Vehicle
- Open Container of Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle
On Sunday, Jan. 19 at approximately 1:29 a.m. Reading Police were dispatched to a rotary near Haverhill Street for reports of a disabled vehicle.
Upon arrival, officers located a silver Ford Explorer parked in the second lane of the rotary with the car still running. Wakefield Police assisted with traffic control in the area.
The vehicle also had front-end and tire damage consistent with striking an object.
While speaking with the driver, identified as ALSARABI, officers observed a strong odor of alcohol emanating from her and that she appeared to be confused as to where she was.
A preliminary investigation determined that ALSARABI was operating under the influence. ALSARABI was arrested without incident.
During a subsequent search of ALSARABI’s vehicle, officers discovered a clear plastic bottle that was believed to contain whiskey.
ALSARABI was scheduled to be arraigned in Woburn District Court on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
