STONEHAM, MA - A Cambridge man who apparently developed a hankering for baked goods after flipping his 1992 Honda Subaru on Montvale Ave. Sunday night was arrested for operating under the influence of drugs, according to Stoneham Police.
Mark Chaisson, age 36, of 179 Charles Street, Cambridge, was arrested for operating after license suspension, giving a false name and address to a police officer, leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury, and operating under the influence of drugs. Chaisson was arrested by Officers McIntyre, Ponzo, Kranefuss, O'Toole and Thistle at 9:45 p.m.
According to Police reports, Chaisson and his passenger, an unidentified male, fled the car after the vehicle flipped in front of Montvale Plaza at approximately 9:45 p.m. Stoneham Police found the two men reportedly "hiding" in the mens' and womens' bathrooms at the bagel shop.
The passenger was transported to Melrose/Wakefield Hospital where he was treated for injuries sustained in the accident. Chaisson reportedly failed a field sobriety test and -- with evidence culled from an investigation by the reporting officers -- was charged with operating under the influence of drugs. A hypodermic needle was also recovered in the area where the accident took place, according to Stoneham Police.
