周一早上，新贝德福德市议员肖恩·奥利弗（Shawn Oliver）在新贝德福德地区法院对酒精影响下工作的指控不认罪，该案件导致他暂停了副州长的竞选活动。
传讯开始时，奥利弗在上午9点前不久进入法院。他的律师约翰·亨德利热情地迎接他，并把他带进律师休息室，他们在那里呆了几分钟，然后一起走进法庭。奥利弗安静地坐在妻子埃默德·奥德里斯科尔-奥利弗旁边，靠近法庭的后排，等待轮到他发言，六七名记者和摄影师都在密切注视着他。
“我现在无可奉告，”他告诉一位轻松的记者。
当奥利弗被传唤时，他对所有的指控拒不认罪：酒后驾车、疏忽驾驶机动车、超速和违反车道标志。
在检察官的要求下，法院释放了奥利弗，条件是他在案件审理期间不得开车。他交了保释金被释放，意思是不准保释。他下一次出庭日期是11月16日。
这起车祸发生在周六晚上11点40分左右，发生在新贝德福德的达特茅斯街，涉及一辆翻车的汽车，损坏了五辆汽车，其中两辆遭受了“大面积损坏”，警方发言人Holly Huntoon说。
42岁的奥利弗被送往圣卢克医院接受治疗，随后被逮捕。
周日，在从新贝德福德的阿什街监狱被释放几个小时后，他暂停了竞选副州长的活动。但是投票已经开始了，奥利弗被提名为共和党州长候选人迈克·米诺格的竞选伙伴。
米诺格周日表示，如果他当选，他将要求奥利弗辞职。
该州矫正部发言人斯科特·克罗托在一封电子邮件中告诉《太阳报》，“在审查所有事实和情况的同时，奥利弗在马萨诸塞州治疗中心的工作受到限制”。布里奇沃特的中等安全设施关押着被判犯有刑事罪的男性性犯罪者和被判犯有性危险行为的人。
马萨诸塞州治疗中心负责人办公室拒绝提供任何关于奥利弗就业状况的信息。
奥利弗被传讯后公布的法庭记录描述了警方称他们在车祸现场遇到的情况。
当警察到达达特茅斯街南端停车站附近时＆星期六晚上，他们发现奥利弗的林肯导航仪被倒放着，里面空无一人。
他们还注意到一辆丰田凯美瑞“大面积受损，被推到路边，人行道上，草地上。”一辆红色凯美瑞“也有大面积损坏，并被推回，导致它撞上另一辆停放的车辆。”总共有五辆汽车受到影响。
新贝德福德警官安德鲁·帕克赶到现场，发现奥利弗站在人行道上，打着手机。警察注意到奥利弗在流血，他的耳朵后面有一个伤口。帕克问奥利弗感觉如何。
“好的，”奥利弗告诉他，根据警官的叙述。“真是漫长的一天。”
奥利弗告诉警官，他要去达特茅斯见朋友，正准备北上回家。
报道称，奥利弗问了两次“其他人是否都还好”，并告诉警官他一直在“耗尽精力”。
一位不愿透露姓名的目击者告诉奥兰多·弗兰科警官，他们当时在罗克代尔大街以南达特茅斯街的一组红绿灯处，坐在奥利弗的导航仪后面的一辆车里。两人都在向北走。
“目击者称，当灯变绿时，导航员仍然停下来，然后他不得不倒车，以便查看灯是否是绿色的，”该官员的叙述说。
然后，导航员加速穿过十字路口，在达特茅斯街上继续向北行驶时左右转向。这位匿名目击者告诉警方，奥利弗的车经过洛克代尔大街的十字路口后，向左漂移到对面的车道上，在那里高速行驶，撞上了停在西边路边的汽车并翻车。
佛朗哥跟着救护车把奥利弗送到了圣卢克医院。根据报告，奥利弗就是在那里告诉佛朗哥他“昨晚早些时候在黑巴斯烧烤店喝了至少两杯含酒精的饮料”。然后他去了位于达特茅斯的一个朋友家。
奥利弗的眼睛“布满血丝，呆滞无神”，身上有一股酒味。佛朗哥观察到。
弗兰科写道：“在与肖恩交谈后，确定他受酒精饮料的影响，不应该驾驶汽车。”
根据叙述，警官告诉奥利弗他被捕了，并把他铐在医院的床上，但在此之前奥利弗呕吐了。
警方报告称，奥利弗因为受伤而无法进行清醒测试，并拒绝作为证据的抽血。
2003年，奥利弗在马特波塞特面临经营未注册机动车和“违反车牌规定隐瞒身份”的指控。韦勒姆地方法院的记录显示，他在隐瞒案件中承认了足够的事实，法官发现了足够的事实，但继续审理此案，没有做出有罪的裁决。（一）继续没有发现处分通常源于试用期的结束。）
记录显示奥利弗支付了50美元的诉讼费和每月21美元的缓刑服务费。
法律当有人把错误的车牌贴在汽车上，模糊了车牌上的数字，或者没有显示车牌时，奥利弗提出了抗辩。
Shawn Oliver pleads not guilty to OUI after suspending lieutenant governor campaign
New Bedford City Councilor Shawn Oliver pleaded not guilty to a charge of operating under the influence of alcohol in New Bedford District Court Monday morning， in a case that has led to him suspending his campaign for lieutenant governor．
Oliver entered the courthouse shortly before 9 a．m． as arraignments began． His lawyer， John Hendrie， greeted him warmly and led him into the lawyers’ lounge， where they stayed for a few minutes before walking into the courtroom together． Oliver sat quietly next to his wife， Emerald O’Driscoll-Oliver， near the back of the courtroom as he waited his turn to be called， watched intently by more than half a dozen journalists and photographers．
“I have no comment at this time，” he told a Light reporter．
When Oliver was called forward， he pleaded not guilty to all charges： operating under the influence， negligent operation of a motor vehicle， speeding and a marked lanes violation．
At the prosecutor’s request， the court released Oliver on the condition that he not drive while his case is pending． He was released on personal recognizance， meaning without bail． His next court date is Nov． 16．
The crash， which occurred Saturday around 11：40 p．m． on Dartmouth Street in New Bedford， involved an overturned car that damaged five vehicles， two of which sustained “extensive damage，” police spokesperson Holly Huntoon said．
Oliver， 42， was taken to St． Luke’s for treatment of injuries and then placed under arrest．
He suspended his campaign for lieutenant governor Sunday， a few hours after his release from Ash Street Jail in New Bedford． But voting has already begun， with Oliver on the ballot as the running mate of Republican candidate for governor Mike Minogue．
Minogue said Sunday that if he is elected， he would ask Oliver to resign．
Oliver has been placed on restricted work duty at his job at the Massachusetts Treatment Center “while all facts and circumstances are reviewed，” Scott Croteau， a spokesperson for the state’s Department of Correction， told The Light in an email． The medium-security facility in Bridgewater houses criminally sentenced male sex offenders and people civilly committed as sexually dangerous persons．
The office of the superintendent at the Massachusetts Treatment Center declined to provide any information regarding Oliver’s employment status．
Court records released after Oliver’s arraignment describe what police say they encountered at the scene of the crash．
When officers arrived on Dartmouth Street near the South End Stop＆Shop on Saturday night， they found Oliver’s Lincoln Navigator upside down with no one inside．
They also noted a Toyota Camry “with extensive damage， pushed over the curb， across the sidewalk， and onto the grass．” A red Camry “also had extensive damage and was pushed back causing it to collide into another parked vehicle．” Five cars in all were affected．
New Bedford Police Officer Andrew Parker arrived and found Oliver standing on the sidewalk， talking on his cell phone． The officer noticed Oliver was bleeding and had a cut behind his ear． Parker asked Oliver how he was feeling．
“OK，” Oliver told him， according to the officer’s narrative． “It’s been a long day．”
Oliver told the officer he was meeting with friends in Dartmouth and was heading north on his way home．
Oliver asked twice “if everyone else was OK” and told the officer he had been “burning both ends of the wick，” the narrative said．
A witness who wanted to remain anonymous told Officer Orlando Franco they were in a vehicle behind Oliver’s Navigator at a set of lights on Dartmouth Street， south of Rockdale Avenue． Both were heading north．
“The witness stated that when the light turned green， the Navigator remained stopped， he then had to put his car in reverse in order to see if the light was green，” the officer’s narrative said．
Then， the Navigator accelerated through the intersection and veered right and left as it continued north on Dartmouth Street． After Oliver’s car passed through the intersection with Rockdale Avenue， it drifted left into the opposite lane where， traveling at high speed， it hit the parked cars on the west curb and flipped over， the anonymous witness told police．
Franco followed the ambulance that brought Oliver to St． Luke’s Hospital． According to the report， that’s where Oliver told Franco he’d had “at least 2 alcoholic beverages earlier in the night at Black Bass Grill． He then had gone to a friend’s house located in Dartmouth．”
Oliver’s eyes were “bloodshot and glassy，” and he smelled like alcohol． Franco observed．
“After speaking with Shawn， it was determined that he was under the influence of alcoholic beverages （and） should not have been operating a motor vehicle，” Franco wrote．
The officer told Oliver he was under arrest and handcuffed him to the hospital bed， but not before Oliver vomited， according to the narrative．
Oliver wasn’t able to perform sobriety tests because of his injuries and refused an evidentiary blood draw， the police reports said．
In 2003， Oliver faced charges of operating an unregistered motor vehicle and “number plate violation to conceal identity” in Mattapoisett． Wareham District Court records show he admitted to sufficient facts in the concealment case， and the judge found sufficient facts but continued the case without a guilty finding． （Acontinued without a findingdisposition generally results from completion of probation．）
The records suggest Oliver paid $50 in court costs and a $21 per month probation service fee．
The lawto which Oliver entered a plea can apply when someone attaches the wrong license plate to a car， obscures the numbers on a plate， or fails to display a plate．
