EAST GREENWICH, R.I. (WPRI) — Maria Bucci, the chair of the Cranston Democrats and a former candidate for mayor, has been arrested and charged with driving drunk in East Greenwich.
Body-worn camera video released by police shows that Bucci was pulled over on Division Road just after midnight Thursday. According to the police report obtained by 12 News, Bucci was stopped after an officer saw her swerving on the road.
Her arrest was first reported by GoLocalProv.
The report says Bucci’s vehicle had “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” and she was slurring her words.
“You know who I am, right?” Bucci asked the officer in the bodycam footage.
“I don’t know who you are miss,” the officer replied.
During a field sobriety test, Bucci could be heard telling the officer “my nephew is law enforcement, my uncle’s law enforcement.”
Bucci then argued with the officer as he attempted to administer a second test, the footage shows. She also yelled at her cousin, who was a passenger in the vehicle, to call her husband, according to the police report.
“Call my husband right now,” Bucci said. “And call the attorney general and everybody else in town, ’cause this is disgusting. God forbid I was a Black person, I’d be arrested.”
Bucci was taken into custody after a few more minutes of her questioning the sobriety test.

LOL. Couldn't have been scripted better. Out of all the things that a politician could say when being arrested for some type of drunken illegal activity, this is absolutely positively the one thing that they should not say. But they are so arrogant that they can't help themselves.
I chuckled when I read this line.
Call my husband right now,” Bucci said. “And call the attorney general and everybody else in town, ’cause this is disgusting. God forbid I was a Black person, I’d be arrested.”
Lamont Cranston?
I think her name was misspelled. She sounds “Bicci.”
These Democrats are so racist. It’s pure projection that they accuse MAGA of being racist.
“Ma’am. I don’t know who you are. But I smell a strong odor of alcohol and there is an open box of wine with a straw sticking out.”
I would LOVE to be a cop and reply, “Why yes. Yes ma’am. I know exactly who you are and that’s why I’m going to hold you to a higher standard.”
The Shadow?
Yesterday I posted the video of the Rhode Island assistant AG Devon Hogan Flanagan trying to intimidate the police and threatening "You're going to regret this." She was cuffed and set inside a patrol car.
The Get Out of Free cards don't seem to be working.
Dem candidates in minor races are getting in trouble around the country.
Remind me of the joke:
You may have chosen the wrong McDonald’s if the Employee of the Month picture on the wall has a row of numbers across the middle.
I watched the video. She’s a real peach.
She is Democratic Chair and former mayoral candidate for a city of 80,000. Lol “do you know who I am?” Her political career is probably over after this video.
An oldie but a goody. Travis County (Austin TX) DA arrested for DUI.

Yes. You're a drunk driver.
“Her political career is probably over after this video.”
You don’t know Rhode Island.
Remember “I’m an AG!”....?
Same state.
She got a slap on the wrist.
