Rhode Island man gets probation for OUI charge

Sean M. Hall, 34, of 102 Wisteria Drive, Coventry, R.I., received probation in Quincy District Court, the period ending Sept. 10, 2013, on a charge of operating under the influence of alcohol. The judge took away Hall's license for 45 days and continued without a finding of guilty a charge of negligent operation of a vehicle until March 12, 2013.

The charges stemmed from a April 11, 2011 incident in Milton at 12:05 a.m. when state police traveling on Route 93 observed a black vehicle weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed. Police stopped the vehicle, administered Hall field sobriety tests, and arrested him on suspicion of driving drunk.

Police stated that they followed Hall's vehicle a distance of 7.5 miles and were unable to catch up with it, even at speeds of up to 120 mph.
