COVENTRY — Town Councilman Anthony Colaluca was charged with driving while intoxicated after he was stopped on Arnold Road near New London Avenue shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, the police said.
Colaluca, who will turn 24 on Monday, was also charged with refusing to submit to a chemical breath test, Capt. James Rickard said yesterday. He was issued summonses to appear in District Court on Friday of next week on the drunken-driving count and before the state Traffic Tribunal on Sept. 11 on the refusal charge, Rickard said.
Colaluca, a Republican, was elected to the District 2 seat on the Town Council last November. Efforts to reach him for comment yesterday were unsuccessful.
