Indian booked for drunken driving

BEL AIR, MD — Indian American Shashikant Patel, 41, of Bel Air, Maryland was charged with drunken driving after he was caught with an open container while driving the wrong way on a state road.

Patel had an open container in the Toyota Camry when he was stopped and firefighters reportedly had to set up a roadblock to stop him from continuing to drive.

Patel was then taken into custody by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, where Immigration officials placed a detainer on him and told reporters that they may deport him.

Patel was booked and remains incarcerated.
