Savage was also charged by Barrington police last March with drunk driving while on her way home to Bristol, where she was living at that time. That charge was dismissed because a judge ruled that the arresting officer did not personally see Savage driving erratically.

The officer had responded to a call from witnesses that reportedly saw her vehicle driving erratically. She was convicted of refusing the test to determine her alcohol level.
