A search warrant revealed Pembroke officer James Burns’ blood alcohol test at the hospital registered three times the legal limit, and criminal charges of OUI and negligent operation were pursued. However, just like that, Burns’ case simply disappeared.
According to the police crash report, a Ford F-150 traveling along Center Street in Pembroke just before 6 p.m. crossed over the yellow line and smashed directly into the couple’s Honda Pilot, spinning it around into a tree.A witness traveling behind Collin and Howland told police the truck was in the wrong lane for several seconds and never attempted to correct.
If the NBC10 Boston Investigators hadn’t received a tip, Howland would’ve been correct. That’s because when Pembroke police responded to the emergency, officers only cited Burns for a marked lane violation. Criminal defense attorney Patrick Donovan reviewed the case and said there was an obvious conflict of interest by Pembroke police initially investigating one of their own at the scene of the crash.
According to the documents, a Pembroke officer found both full and empty containers of Twisted Tea inside Burns’ truck at the crash scene. The officer told investigators he determined the cans of alcohol did not play a role in the wreck because they felt warm to the touch and must have been old.
