NEW BOSTON The New Boston Village Council met for their regular second meeting in January, even though it was business as usual, there was a shadow over the meeting and on the minds of some of the folks in the Zoom meeting and the public as well.
Village Councilman Vonald Patrick was involved in two crashes Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021, in which an OVI (Operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and or drugs) was involved.
The incident was first brought up during Mayor Jr. Williams’ report, and a letter of resignation from the New Boston Village Council submitted by Patrick. The mayor stated that the Village Solicitor Justin Blume and Patrick had made an agreement that Patrick plans to plead no contest on the OVI charges.
