Tuesday, Oct. 20
Luis C. Silva, 28, of 150 Dover St., Fall River, was charged with several offenses including possession of a controlled substance, a felony, shortly after 10 a.m. Police had received a be-on-the-lookout report for vehicle that was coming into Portsmouth over the Mt. Hope Bridge after fleeing the scene of an accident in Bristol. Police spotted the vehicle — a 2004 blue Toyota Solara — as it passed a cruiser on Boyd’s Lane near the Route 24 southbound off-ramp. Police tried to stop the car, but it continued onto Route 24 northbound before finally pulling over near Cedar Island. Police found the driver, Mr. Silva, with what appeared to be urine and vomit on his sweatpants and shirt. His hands were shaking uncontrollably and his eyes were glassy, according to police, who also said a needle, syringe and kitchen spoon were on the driver’s side floor. Police also seized a second needle and syringe as well as a clear plastic baggie containing a white powder believed to be heroin. Mr. Silva was also charged with reckless driving/drag-racing/eluding police; driving after his license had been denied, suspended or revoked; driving while intoxicated; and refusal to submit to a chemical test.
