Wednesday’s Boston Globe:

A top Patrick aide accused of OUI

A top adviser to Governor Deval Patrick was arrested early Sunday on drunk driving charges.

Ron Bell, the governor’s senior adviser for community affairs, was pulled over in Brookline at 3:30 a.m. after failing to maintain his lane on Boylston Street, police said.

Bell was charged with operating under the influence, first offense, and marked lanes violations, said David Traub, a spokesman for the Norfolk district attorney’s office. Bell pleaded not guilty Monday in Brookline District Court and was released on personal recognizance. Brookline police cited Bell for speeding.

Cops: Aide insisted, ‘I work for Deval’

Community affairs director arrested on OUI charges

A longtime top aide to Gov. Deval Patrick nabbed on drunken driving charges over the weekend told cops he worked for the governor and was “very important at the State House,” according to Brookline police.

“I work for Deval Patrick, if that helps,” Ron Bell, the governor’s $97,000-a-year community affairs director, reportedly told police when he was arrested at 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

“He also kept telling (officers) that he worked for Deval Patrick and he is very important at the State House,” Brookline police Sgt. Michael R. Disario wrote in a report.

Forget two different Americas. Two different Bostons is more like it.
