Drunk Driver Arrested in Stoughton Allegedly Urinates on Floor of Police Station, Assaults Officers

She was the "most vulgar" person he's ever dealt with in more than two decades of policing, Stoughton officer Allen Curtis noted in his police report, according to Deputy Chief Robert Devine. 

A Taunton woman, Clarissa Garriga, 23, was recently arrested for drunk driving, along with a number of other offenses, following a motor vehicle stop at the intersection of Washington St. and Walnut St. in Stoughton.

Once pulled over by police, Garriga became "completely belligerent," Devine said, including assaulting officers, spitting on them, using racial slurs and urinating on the floor of the police station. 

Garriga ultimately was charged with operating under the influence of liquor, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, speeding in violation of a special regulation, following too close, operating a motor vehicle with unnecessary noise, resisting arrest, vandalizing property, threatening to commit a crime, assault and battery, and assault and battery on a police officer.
