Procopio claimed that Peabody Police had located and followed the Jetta after another motorist reported seeing the car being driven automatically. Peabody officers on the scene told the trooper they had detected signs of intoxication in the male driver, later identified as Andrew Baker, who was out of the vehicle when the trooper arrived. The trooper also observed signs of intoxication during his interaction with the driver. State police then administered several field sobriety tests.
Based on the results of those tests, in conjunction with his observations of the operator and statements made by the operator, the Trooper formed the opinion that the operator was impaired by liquor. Andrew Baker will be arraigned at a later date in Peabody District Court, state police said.
