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After troopers ran McIsaac’s license and learned it had been revoked, they took him into custody.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