Everett official on leave after drunk driving charge, his fourth arrest in two years
Briefly

Assistant City Solicitor Keith P. Slattery was involved in a drunken driving incident last month, resulting in multiple charges, including operating under the influence. This incident marks his fourth arrest in two years. Slattery allegedly displayed slurred speech and became combative with police while undergoing sobriety tests. His blood alcohol concentration was reportedly 0.208%. Witnesses noted that Slattery's vehicle struck another from behind and fled the scene. At the time, he possessed a hardship license restricting his driving hours.
"An Everett city official is facing charges after authorities allege he drunkenly rear-ended a Jeep last month and fled the scene - his fourth arrest in about two years."
"'You're stuttering, and I'm going to prosecute you because I'm a lawyer,' Slattery purportedly told the officer, who alleged Slattery blew 0.208% during a preliminary breath test to gauge his blood alcohol concentration."
"Slattery has been charged with operating under the influence - second offense, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of property damage, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and an inspection sticker violation."
"According to police, the driver of the Jeep involved in the collision told officers Slattery's Nissan Altima approached at a high rate of speed and struck his car from behind on Route 1 in Peabody."
