Drunk Driver Gets Caught In Drug Bust

Hingham police responded to reports of drunk driving activity Saturday night, but ended up getting more than they bargained for. 

Conte, and the possessions police took from his car. 

Police saw the vehicle in question swerve and hit a snow bank, then continued to drive down the road. Police tried to pull him over, but the man kept going - doing 60mph in a 30mph zone.



After pursuit, 20 year-old Stephen Conte finally stopped his vehicle and was arrested for driving under the influence and failure to stop for a police officer. Police could smell the alcohol on his breath even though Conte refused any sobriety tests.

Officers noticed more than an ounce of marijuana on the floor of Conte's car, and upon further inspection found  an empty bottle of whiskey and a backpack containing two digital scales, a grinder, a pipe, two plastic jars containing 5.7 ounces of marijuana, four oxycodone pills, a large empty freezer bag and $3,500 in cash.
