Quincy official accused of driving drunk at over 100 mph
Briefly

Marli Caslli, head of Quincy's Department of Public Health, was arrested for allegedly driving intoxicated and exceeding the speed limit on Route 3. During the incident, he reportedly admitted to consuming two drinks, leading to a failed sobriety test and a blood alcohol content of .097. Caslli pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance, with a pretrial hearing set for June. His attorney claims Caslli is an upstanding citizen, eager for exoneration, emphasizing respect for the legal process pending the outcome of the case.
My client disputes the allegations, and has never been in trouble in his life. He's an upstanding citizen, and we look forward to our day in court and expect a full exoneration.
Caslli reportedly told the trooper that he was heading back home from a restaurant in the Seaport District of Boston. Caslli said he had two drinks, and the trooper reported smelling alcohol on his breath.
The trooper initiated a field sobriety test. Caslli asked if it was necessary before failing 14 of the 18 elements in the test.
