FRAMINGHAM —
A trail of oil led a Framingham cop from a damaged fence on Brook Street to a car police say slammed into it.
When she was arrested at 6:39 p.m., Mallory Donnelly, 19, told police she had been drinking with "her boys" during the Boston Marathon earlier in the day, said police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany.
Officer Paul Patriarca went to the intersection of Brook and Water streets for a report of a hit-and-run accident.
He found a chain link fence with nine poles that had been ripped out of the ground, Shastany said. He also noticed a pool of oil near the site that seemed to lead away from the crash.
Witnesses told police a Chevy Cavalier had hit the fence.
"Patriarca followed the path of the oil," Shastany said.
It wound down several streets until he found a Cavalier parked on the wrong side of Fairfield Road. All four tires were flat.
"The driver, Mallory Donnelly, was sitting behind the wheel, turning the ignition key on and off and she said her car just died on her," said Shastany. "She said she had just been with her boys watching the Marathon."
The officer asked Donnelly, who appeared to be drunk, what had happened to her car. She said she went around a corner and she may have hit a curb.
After Donnelly failed several field sobriety tests, Patriarca arrested her.
Donnelly, of 5 Fairfield Road, was charged with driving under the influence of liquor, malicious mischief causing more than $250 worth of damage and driving with a suspended license. She was also cited for a marked lanes violation.
Donnelly also had a Framingham District Court warrant that charged her with assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Donnelly pleaded not guilty at her Framingham District Court arraignment and was released without bail. She is due back in court on May 22 for a pretrial conference.
