Taunton man arrested after witnesses see vehicle driven erratically

A Taunton man was arrested Friday after a report from witnesses.

According to Sgt. James Casey, at approximately 12:38 p.m., Ptlm. Nicholas Miranda responded to the Rehoboth/Seekonk town line for a report of a motor vehicle operating erratically.

The vehicle was described as a gray Jeep Compass with Massachusetts plates. When Ptlm. Miranda arrived on scene, he was met by Officers from the Seekonk Police Department who had stopped the vehicle just after it entered Rehoboth.

The operator was identified as 26-year-old Christopher Scott of Lawton Avenue in Taunton.

A brief roadside investigation was conducted which led to Scott being taken into custody without incident.

Scott was transported to the Rehoboth Police station where he was booked.

Scott was arraigned over the telephone on a charge of OUI Drugs.

He is due to report to the Taunton District Court at a later date.
