A Woburn man with multiple drunk driving convictions and a suspended license is being held without bail pending a hearing tomorrow that could keep him behind bars until trial, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

At the time of his Boston Municipal Court arraignment last week, THOMAS D. McCUE (D.O.B. 7/11/69) had four convictions for operating under the influence of alcohol in Woburn, Roxbury, and Charlestown dating back to 1992. When he was charged Friday with a fifth, Assistant District Attorney Janine D’Amico moved to have him held without bail pending a hearing tomorrow under the state’s so-called “dangerousness statute.” Judge Annette Forde imposed that order.

Under Ch. 276, Sect. 58A, of the Massachusetts General Laws, a judge may hold a defendant accused of certain offenses without bail for up to 90 days until trial upon “clear and convincing evidence that no conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community.” In addition to the OUI charge, he faces counts of negligent operation, operating after suspension, failing to stop for police, and multiple civil infractions.

A Massachusetts State trooper clocked McCue’s speed westbound on Storrow Drive at 85 mph early Friday morning and observed him crossing the lane markers. Trooper signaled McCue to pull over as he exited onto the Massachusetts Avenue ramp from the middle lane.

McCue allegedly turned onto the Harvard Bridge toward Cambridge and didn’t stop for about 300 feet. The trooper exited his cruiser and approached McCue’s white 2005 Pontiac Bonneville, at which point McCue allegedly accelerated away from him only to rear-end a taxi near the Memorial Drive intersection. The taxi driver was not injured.

Additional State Police units responded to the scene and the initial trooper once again approached McCue’s vehicle. McCue allegedly refused the trooper’s exit order and would not lower his driver’s side window. At that point, the trooper used his flashlight to break the window, removed McCue from the car, and took him into custody. Troopers at the scene observed his eyes to be bloodshot, his voice to be slurred, and his breath to smell strongly of alcohol.

While being booked at the Boston Barracks, McCue allegedly made statements that he’d drunk three glasses of red wine, then proceeded to fail each of three field sobriety tests by forgetting the alphabet, losing his balance, and allegedly stating, “I can’t do this” while trying to stand on one foot. During three breath tests over a four-minute period, McCue blew .24, .15, and .24, with .08 being the legal limit for driving in Massachusetts.

McCue will return to court tomorrow.
