Worcester man arrested on child endangerment while drunken driving charge
A Worcester man was arrested Saturday after Southborough police found empty 50 ml bottles and two small children in his car during a traffic stop, according to police.
Honorio Lisboa Jr., 42, pleaded not guilty to eight charges including child endangerment while operating under the influence, operating under the influence of alcohol and possessing an open container of alcohol while driving during his arraignment in Westborough District Court on Tuesday, according to court records.
On Feb. 14, a Southborough police detective stopped a car with a defective headlight at the intersection of Marlboro and Sears Roads shortly before 7 p.m., Southborough police said in a press release . The detective quickly noticed that the driver, who was later identified as Lisboa, smelled strongly of alcohol, and that there was a woman in the front passenger seat and two small children in the back.
The detective soon discovered that Lisboa did not have a valid driver's license, police said. He gave the detective a name and social security number, but the detective checked RMV records and found that the information he provided was for a different person.
Two more officers arrived at the scene and noticed that Lisboa had glassy eyes and was slurring his speech, police said. The detective then searched the car and found three empty and two open but unfinished 50 ml bottles of alcohol.
Police arrested Lisboa and took him to Southborough Police Department Headquarters for booking, police said. During booking, he provided police with his real identity, which revealed that he had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Polk County, Florida.
During Lisboa's arraignment, the judge ordered him held on $500 cash bail, according to court records. He had not posted bail as of Wednesday afternoon.
