LEOMINSTER -- A city man suspected of driving under the influence reportedly attempted to invoke the Fifth Amendment when being questioned by a police officer during a traffic stop Saturday. <\/p>\n
Andres F. Romero, 25, of 47 Princeton St., Apt. 300, was pulled over on suspicion of speeding on Route 12 northbound at 2:50 a.m. According to a police report, Romero smelled of alcohol, and his speech was slurred. <\/p>\n
When the officer who pulled Romero over asked if he had been drinking, Romero did not respond for 15 to 20 seconds. The officer repeated the question, and another 15 to 20 seconds passed without a response from Romero, according to the police report. <\/p>\n
When the officer asked for a third time, Romero mumbled: \"I'm gonna take the Fifth on that.\" The officer asked what the Fifth was, and Romero said it was something he had learned in school. <\/p>\n
The officer also asked Romero what his level of education is. <\/p>\n
\"Mount Wachusett,\" Romero answered, according to the police report. <\/p>\n
\"Oh, you went to college?\" the officer asked. <\/p>\n
\"No, the Mount. Mount Wachusett Community College,\" Romero said. <\/p>\n
The officer informed Romero that the Mount is a college. <\/p>\n
\"No, Monty Tech. I went to Monty Tech,\" Romero said. <\/p>\n
