Editor's Note: One or more names in this report have been redacted in light of additional documentation provided regarding this case.

  • Savannah J. Lessing, 20, of 3 Ashton Lane, Narragansett, was charged with DUI at 1 a.m. on Sept. 6 after being pulled over on Point Judith Road for swerving and allegedly running a stop sign at Ocean Road. She told officers she was at the Bon Vue Inn that evening and she was able to get into the bar because she “knows people.”

After allegedly failing field sobriety tests, officers took Lessing to the station, where she reportedly registered a blood alcohol level of .218, more than double the legal limit.

  • Anna L. Lyons, 20, of 9 Glocester Road, Narragansett, was charged with DUI and refusal on Sept. 6 around midnight after officers pulled her over on Charlestown Boulevard because she was reportedly driving without her headlights on.

Officers originally attempted to pull her over on Burnside,
but she continued down the road, turning onto Charlestown before pulling to the
side of the road and hitting the curb.
Lyons, who reportedly had a red plastic cup in the front seat cup holder
that contained a pink liquid that smelled of alcohol, said she was not driving
her car, which has automatic headlights. She also told officers she was driving
her passenger home because she was the “DD” that night. However, she reportedly
failed field sobriety tests and refused a Breathalyzer back at the station.

But when asked about the empty six-pack of Sierra Nevada in the backseat, he reportedly admitted to having “three or four beers” over the past hour.

After allegedly failing three field sobriety tests, Wells was arrested and taken to the police station, where he reportedly refused a Breathalyzer test.
