Coventry councilman faces drunken driving charge

A Coventry councilman was arraigned this morning in District Court on a drunken driving charge.

Anthony J. Colaluca, who turned 24 on Monday, pleaded not guilty and was released on $5,000 personal recognizance.

Colaluca, a Democrat, was stopped by police on Arnold Road near New London Avenue just before 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 25.

He is also scheduled to appear before the state Traffic Tribunal on Sept. 11, where he faces a charge of refusing to submit to a chemical breath test.
