Maine Man With Outstanding Warrants Arrested in a Restaurant Drive-Thru Lane

It was a bad night for Jason Boston, 39, of Auburn.

Westbrook Police were called to a local restaurant with a drive-thru Friday evening at around 9:30. The caller reported a male who was slumped over the wheel of his vehicle.

Police did not release the name of the Westbrook business.

When officers arrived, revived, and questioned the man, he gave them a false name. They were quick to figure out his real name, however, and learned that he had 6 active warrants out for his arrest.

Boston was also out on bail conditions, had a suspended driver's license, and plates that were illegally attached to his vehicle.
