MORRIS TWP.–A Randolph man was charged with drunk driving Friday night after a motorist reported an intoxicated driver nearly struck her and gave her the middle finger as she passed him on West Hanover Avenue, police said.
Police tracked down the vehicle in question, a Dodge pickup truck, to Serjio Vasquez, 47, of Randolph. The pickup was observed turning onto Speedwell Avenue, and was stopped.
Vasquez, who had two dogs on the front seat with him, told police the animals were jumping around the truck, causing him to swerve.
Police said Vasquez showed signs of intoxication, and he was arrested after failing field sobriety testing. He was charged with DWI after breath tests at headquarters, and released to a family member, pending a municipal court appearance.
