Six-time OUI driver busted yet again

A Chelsea man with six drunk-driving conviction­s and a revoked driver’s license had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit while driving a scooter Thursday night and threatened to shoot “random civilians,” children, and police after he was stopped, prosecutor­s said.

Peter McIsaac’s 2017 Agility scooter was stopped with its lights off on Nonantum Road in Brighton shortly before 10:30 p.m., prosecutor­s said, and two men who were standing near it walked away in different directions when troopers approached.

Prosecutor­s said the first man told them McIsaac had picked him up on the scooter and taken him to a liquor store and they were on their way back to McIsaac’s home when they ran out of gas. While they were speaking with the man, troopers said McIsaac, reeking of alcohol, staggered toward them and said he owned the scooter.

“I’m very intoxicate­d,” he added with slurred speech, prosecutor­s said.

After troopers ran McIsaac’s license and learned it had been revoked, they took him into custody.

When they arrived at the barracks, prosecutor­s said McIsaac fell out of the cruiser and consented to a breath test, which showed that he had a blood-alcohol content of .185. During the booking process, McIsaac allegedly told troopers he had access to firearms and would “kill 15 people,” including children, police, and “random civilians” because he “was wronged.”

Prosecutor­s said McIsaac has OUI conviction­s in Middlesex County from 1985, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993.

McIsaac was arraigned yesterday in Brighton Municipal Court on charges including operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, fourth or subsequent offense, and making threats of death, injury or substantia­l property damage. He was ordered held pending a dangerousn­ess hearing July 14.
