A Central Street man who drove into a tree was charged with drunk driving after he told officers he’d had “four or five beers in Chinatown” that night, police said.

Thongrob Mangklaratana, 32, of 154 Central St., was arrested at 103 Prospect St. and charged with drunk driving March 30.

Police said residents on Prospect Street were awakened by the noise of the accident at 5 a.m.

Mangklaratana allegedly refused to take field sobriety tests at the scene.
