Luis Guzman, 48, is a resident of Lowell. He was caught by police driving drunk with two children in the back seat. During his drive he also almost hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Guzman failed several field sobriety tests, and blew a .32 on the breathalyzer.. four times the legal limit!
Guzman is already facing charges of operating under the influence of alcohol, possessing an open container of alcohol and motor-vehicle charges in connection with same incident. In the first set of charges, Guzman was released on $1,000 cash bail.
Lowell police allege that on Sept. 14, officers had just passed a vehicle on Cardinal O'Connell Way when they noticed a brown Toyota Corolla almost strike a pedestrian who was in the middle of crossing Market Street.
After stopping the car, officers noticed an open container of Natural Ice beer on the floor behind the passenger seat and also noticed two children, both 11, in the back seat along with a 47-year-old female in the front seat.
It took an officer three taps on the driver's side window to get Guzman to roll it down. When he did, the officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol. The officer noted Guzman's eyes were glassy and blood shot.
When asked if he had been drinking, Guzman told police he didn't speak English.
