Police have arrested and charged a Massachusetts woman with her fourth OUI following a motor vehicle crash that took place this week.

According to the Cohasset Police Department, at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, Cohasset Police Sgt. Jeffrey Treanor and Officer Thomas Brown were dispatched to the area of the Border Street Bridge for a report of a motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival, officers observed an unoccupied, legally parked Audi SUV with rear-end damage and an occupied Honda sedan with heavy front-end damage parked and running a short distance away.

Officers approached the Honda sedan and made contact with the driver of the vehicle, who was identified as 62-year-old Linda Burlingame of Scituate.

Burlingame appeared confused, refused medical attention and attempted to start her car to drive away. Officers advised her to turn off her vehicle.

Burlingame was instructed to step out of the Honda but displayed obvious signs of impairment.

Based on the officers’ observations and communication with Burlingame, she was then taken into custody at the scene and transported to the Cohasset Police Department for booking.

Burlingame was charged with Operating Under the Influence of Liquor (Fourth Offense), Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, and Marked Lanes Violation.

She was arraigned and released with a location and alcohol monitoring bracelet. She is expected to return to court on December 13 for a pre-trial conference.
