West Greenwich, RI - A West Greenwich man is expected to be in court Monday to face his third charge of driving under the influence.
State police arrested and charged Richard Rutherford, 58, of West Greenwich after someone called 911 to tell police he was driving erratically.
Troopers stopped his truck and also found four children in the truck between the ages of 2 and 10.
Officials arraigned Rutherford at the State Police barracks and he was transferred to the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston. He was also cited for child restraint violations.
Police said Rutherford had previously been arrested in Iowa and Texas on related impaired driving charges.
Police said they called the Department of Children, Youth and Families, and the children were released to a family friend.

People driving under the influence should get rougher punishment because besides putting their lives in danger, they put others lives in danger too.
If this driver was caught driving under the influence for the third time that means he drove much more drunk and he should stay in jail for a while to realize where his problem is.
I heard about a similar impaired driving Toronto case but unfortunately that driver killed two innocent teens....we should prevent such tragic events by punishing drunk drivers very rough.
