Hull man arrested for pedestrian under the influence
A Hull man was charged with pedestrian under the influence recently following a domestic dispute.
Alfonzo Bernard Howard, 46, 2086 Thomas Drive, was found walking on Hwy. 29 South.
According to the incident report, both parties had left the scene of the argument walking before officers arrived. The woman was found at her residence on Hwy. 29 South and she said Howard was intoxicated and trying to get her to stay at his residence but she refused. She also said everything was fine and that Howard would not come to her house. About 15 minutes after officers left the scene, the woman called 911 to report that Howard was outside her house causing a disturbance. When officers arrived back at the house they found that Howard had left again. He was found walking south on Hwy. 29 in the northbound lane. The officer noted he was intoxicated and, when asked if he’d been drinking, he replied “yes.” He was asked to take a breath test on the alco-sensor and agreed, but when he started to blow, he stopped and said he wasn’t going to take the test because he had asthma. He was arrested and taken to jail.
