Cambridge Police arrested one Johanna Bergman, 33, 110 Standish Avenue in Plymouth, for OUI Drugs after she was involved in a minor motor vehicle crash on Mt. Auburn Street. Bergman had rear-ended another motor vehicle in traffic. When officers arrived on-scene they observed that Bergman's speech was slow and deliberate. She also slurred her words at times. Bergman also had glassy eyes and her pupils were large. Bergman appeared lethargic as she moved slowly and she appeared to nod off at times. Bergman was offered roadside assessments to determine whether or not she was capable of safely driving her vehicle. Throughout the assessments, Bergman showed multiple indicators of impairment that would limit her ability to safely operate her vehicle. Bergman was informed that she was being placed under arrest for OUI Drugs. While Bergman was being booked, I performed an inventory of her purse and discovered a quantity of drugs packaged in the tied off corner of a plastic bag. I identified the drugs as Alprazolam by the markings imprinted on them. This drug requires a prescription. As a result, Bergman is also being charged with Possession of a Class E Drug.
