Newton, MA -- Police said it took several minutes of an officer yelling at an Attleboro man and banging on his Pontiac Grand Prix with a flashlight before he woke up and found himself sitting at a red light Saturday.
Christopher Bordne, 17, had his foot on the brake and was sitting at the intersection of Boylston and Woodward streets when an officer approached in his cruiser about 1:40 a.m., police said.
The officer sat behind Bordne's car, waiting for the light to turn green. When the car did not move, the officer got out and tried to wake Bordne up, according to a police report.
"I tapped on the window to get the driver's attention, but he did not respond. I then shouted out for him to wake up while knocking on the window, again with no response," an officer wrote in the police report. "I then took out my flashlight and banged the end of it on the roof of the car with a limited response from the driver where he licked his lips and moved his head a little bit without opening his eyes."
The report states Bordne looked at the officer after several minutes, but drove away through the red light.
The officer followed Bordne's car, and watched as it crashed into the same telephone pole on Glenmore Terrace three times, according to the report.
"(I) observed the vehicle drive into the telephone pole located at the end of the street. I then observed the vehicle reverse approximately 3 to 4 feet and then again drive straight into the telephone pole. The vehicle then reversed a second time and then a third time drove into the pole," the officer wrote.
Bordne, of 4 Mount Vernon Ave. North, was arrested about 1:50 a.m. after the officer was able to trap Bordne's car between the cruiser, a tree and the house at 13 Glenmore Terrace.
Police said Bordne, who had to be removed from his car and failed field sobriety tests, had driven on the lawn in an attempt to escape police.
He was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol, failure to stop for police, operating to endanger and failure to stop at a red light, police said.
