REVERE – A Revere man who was charged with his fourth offense of driving under the influence on Saturday, drove with a suspended license to his arraignment on Monday.Chelsea District Court Judge Benjamin Barnes ordered Jessie Dalrymple, 44, to post $200 cash bail and not drive while his case is pending. He is due back in court on April 5.Assistant District Attorney Nicholas Brandt told the court that Dalrymple blew a .18 on a Breathalyzer test, more than double the legal limit. Brandt also told the court that Dalrymple had convictions in Ayer and Somerville for operating under the influence in 1994 and 1990, and that he admitted to facts sufficient for a finding of guilty for the same offense in Charlestown in 1987.The Registry of Motor Vehicles has been notified of the Breathalyzer test results and Dalrymple’s license has been suspended for 30 days. In court, Dalrymple claimed not to have known that his license had been suspended, even though he had been given a notice of automatic suspension at his arrest.On Saturday night, a State Trooper driving on Ocean Avenue saw Dalrymple’s red Dodge Dakota drifting across the road’s marked lanes, estimating that he was traveling at nearly double the 30-mph speed limit.The trooper attempted to pull Dalrymple over, but he continued to drive until his reached his Centennial Drive address, stumbled out of the front seat and staggered toward him. Having ordered Dalrymple to get back into his truck, the trooper saw that he had glassy, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol was on his breath.Dalrymple failed every one of the trooper’s field sobriety tests and was unable to recite the alphabet or touch his nose with the tip of his finger. At one point, he allegedly told the trooper, “I can’t do this.”As Dalrymple was being taken into custody, two of his relatives came outside, spoke to the trooper and assured him that it wasn’t necessary to tow the truck.
