Driver Stumbles Over Quinine Issue In Dui Case
Charles E Hanna, a bond salesman from 62 Yale Street, was convicted in Westport Town Court of operating a vehicle while impaired by liquor. He testified he was actually under quinine influence and had not drunk alcohol for months. Prosecutors said he appeared intoxicated to state police, who noted quinine doses of 48 grains, an overdose.
