FRAMINGHAM – A Framingham man was arrested on New Year’s Day, after he crashed his vehicle into a tree, said Holden Police in a press release today, January 19.

The Framingham man, 37, was charged with his third offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

On January 1, around 2:15 a.m., Holden Police “were dispatched to a report of an erratic operator in the area of Shrewsbury Street. Officers located the vehicle, and followed on Main Street until they identified a motor vehicle violation. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to pull over, and both officers began a brief pursuit. Due to the amount of traffic, being New Year’s Eve, and the unsafe speed that the driver was approaching the patrol sergeant terminated the pursuit. Officers slowed down to near speed limit speed and continued to drive north on Main Street with no sight of the vehicle,” noted the press release.
