Kennedy received three "notices of infractions" in connection with his car crash early yesterday morning near the Capitol, according to a police report. The report by a U.S. Capitol Police officer said Kennedy drove his green 1997 Ford Mustang convertible into a security barrier near the Capitol shortly before 3 a.m. Thursday, and that Kennedy had red, watery eyes, slurred speech and unsteady balance. The Rhode Island Democrat, 38, told the officer he was "headed to the Capitol to make a vote," the report said. It said he failed to keep in proper lane, traveled at "unreasonable speed" and failed to "give full time and attention" to operating his vehicle. Kennedy spokeswoman Robin Costello acknowledged earlier today that the police report was filed, but said "we have no knowledge of any citations." Kennedy aides received the accident report this morning at his congressional office, said Costello, who is Kennedy's spokeswoman in Rhode Island. The accident involving the son of U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and member of the famous Kennedy clan has drawn widespread attention. National media are camped outside his Washington home this morning. -- Associated Press, with reports from Journal Washington bureau writer John E. Mulligan Posted by Steve Peoples Commentsrich costello | May 5, 2006 12:59 PM link I think its time for Patrick to resign. Anyone who drinks while using prescription drugs is too irresponsible to hold this office. Driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol is not only stupid, but reckless endanderment. Patrick has had repeated incidences of reckless behavior over the past few years which he's gotten away with. The average citizen would have been arrested and jailed for driving while intoxicated. Lets call for his resignation and elect someone who has more respect for his office. Rebecca Vickers | May 5, 2006 6:10 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
