A man has been arrested twice in one night for DWI

Connecticut State Police tell NBC Connecticut, a Putnam man has been arrested twice in one night for driving while intoxicated.

State Police Troop D in Danielson stopped a vehicle on I 395 at approximately 4:30 a.m early Saturday morning for failing to have the vehicles rear light properly illuminated, according to a police report.

During the traffic stop, police determined the operator, James Maguire of Putnam, was intoxicated and was arrested after failing to pass a field sobriety test. 

After police further investigated, it was discovered that Maguire, had been arrested a few hours earlier by Putnam Police for DWI. 

Maguire earlier was released by Putnam Police after being processed.  Maguire was in possession of a Massachusetts driver license and is a current resident of Putnam, Connecticut, police say.

According to a press release, Magurie's operating privileges in Connecticut were revoked by Putnam Police at the time of his release at the first arrest.  Maguire violated the revocation of his license by operating a motor vehicle after his release when arrested the second time by State Troopers on I 395 a few hours later.

Maguire is being charged with DWI, failure to illuminate tail lights and operating with a revoked license.

Maguire is still being held on a $1,000.00 non-surety bond.

His first court appearance will be April 28, 2011 in Danielson.
