Watertown Man Charged with Aggravated DWI After Leaving Scene of Accident on W. Main St.
The following motorists are charged with driving while intoxicated and related offenses:
Robert C. Elliott, 22, of 547 Morrison St., Apt. 2, Watertown, was charged by Watertown police at 12:25 a.m. Friday in the 100 block of Massey Street with aggravated DWI, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, unreasonable speed, and having a defective headlight. Police said Mr. Elliott was heading east in the 500 block of W. Main Street when he lost control, crossed the roadway and struck two vehicles parked in front of Fast Lube of Watertown. A 2006 Cadillac belonging to Deborah A. Bancroft, 61, and a 2002 Ford owned by Dennis L. LaJuett, 36, Calcium, were unoccupied when they were struck, police said. Mr. Elliott left the scene, but was stopped in the 100 block of Massey Street for having no right front headlight, they said. His blood alcohol content was 0.22 percent, police said. Aggravated DWI, which carries a harsher sentence upon conviction, is charged when the blood alcohol content is 0.18 percent or more. A BAC level of 0.08 percent or more is considered proof of intoxication under state law. He is ordered to appear March 3 in City Court.

Police said he twice refused to take a breathalyzer test.
