Double DUI

Police report that at about 7:19 pm on August 3, they were alerted that there was a possibly intoxicated man standing outside a van at the gasoline pumps at the Mobil gas station at 62 Church Hill Road, so they went there to investigate.

That investigation showed that the man was intoxicated and that he had been driving, so police charged Scott P. Cotton, 38, of Forth Worth, Texas, with driving under the influence and with driving without a license, police said.

Police then transported Cotton to the police station for processing.

While he was in custody, Newtown police learned that police in Berlin, Conn., wanted Cotton on an outstanding warrant on charges of second-degree failure to appear in court, driving under the influence, reckless driving, and driving without a license.

Police consequently held Cotton on $10,100 bail for an arraignment on August 4 in Danbury Superior Court.
