NORTHAMPTON — A South Hadley man was arrested early Sunday morning, charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor — his fifth offense.
Detective Mike Briggs said Joel R. Vieu, 42, was traveling northbound on Pleasant Street around 12:30 a.m. in a black Infiniti when an officer saw him weaving in the lane.
When Vieu veered outside of the lane, the officer pulled him over outside Toasted Owl on Main Street. He showed signs of impairment, Briggs said, and was arrested.
He was also charged with a marked lanes violation and for not having his ID on him.
He was convicted previously of four OUI charges, Briggs said.
