Seven vehicles were struck between Claremont and Conrad roads, some as their drivers tried helplessly to turn out of Gault's way on the congested roadway. Police say the incident started at the McDonald's restaurant on High Street in Carlisle, where they say Gault was seen driving over curbs and erratically snapping photographs. It ended at the Conrad Road intersection when an angry motorist, believing the dazed motorist's actions were deliberate, punched out the driver's side window of Gault's truck and helped detain him until police arrived. Gault was handcuffed and transported to Carlisle Hospital, where his condition was stabilized. Middlesex police say no criminal charges will be filed.
Traffic citations are possible.
School board schedules Sunday meeting While others relax this Sunday afternoon, South Middleton School Board will try to catch up on a big homework assignment - weighing options for easing school overcrowding. The meeting is to allow members to review the lengthy reports it has received, including studies by two different architects. Rich doesn't expect the board to vote on any of the numerous options under consideration. While the logic of holding a Sunday meeting may be clear to the board, members of a local taxpayer group say they don't like it. They say Sunday should be reserved for church, family, friends and relaxation.
