I’VE HEARD THIS BEFORE

On Oct. 6 around 7:53 p.m., Officers Tyler Stone and Matthew Higgins responded to a motor vehicle accident at 2003 Post Road. When Officer Higgins arrived on the scene, Officer Stone had already spoken to the operator of the victim vehicle. Officer Higgins then interviewed the driver of vehicle #1, Bruce Ahmadjian, 66, from 190 Fairway Dr. in North Kingstown, who had allegedly struck the victim’s vehicle.

According to the police report, Ahmadjian exhibited signs of intoxication and had difficulties providing the paperwork requested by the officer. The occupants of vehicle #2 stated to police that Ahmadjian had rear-ended them. Ahmadjian said that the other car had slammed on their brakes and gave him no time to respond. When asked if he had consumed any alcohol that evening, Ahmadjian claimed to have had one beer hours before He was allegedly unstable and had a hard time standing on his own.

Ahmadjian then consented to a field sobriety tests, and took a preliminary breathalyzer test, which produced a reading of .282 percent as a blood alcohol content. Based upon his performance, the officers’ experience and training, and their interactions with Ahmadjian, it was determined that he would be placed under arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence and transferred to police headquarters.

At the station, Officer Higgins began to read the suspect his rights, to which Ahmadjian was quoted as saying, “Don’t waste your time. I’ve heard this before. I’m not going to pay attention.” Two subsequent breathalyzer tests provided readings of .275 and .285 as a blood alcohol content.

Ahmadjian was charged with driving under the influence, first offense. He was subsequently transported to Kent Hospital for detox.
