FRAMINGHAM -- A Framingham dad who failed to appear in court for his arraignment on time Tuesday avoided being arrested on a warrant by getting to court minutes before it closed.
Judge Robert Greco ordered a warrant for the arrest of Luis Lala Lema, 24, when he did not show up for his Framingham District Court arraignment. The appearance was scheduled for 9 a.m.
Later in the day, Lema showed up at court.
He is accused of passing out drunk on Saturday behind the wheel of his truck with his 3-year-old daughter, who was not wearing a seat belt, next to him.

In all fairness, if my name was "Luis Lala Lema", I'd probably develop a drinking problem myself.
I guess that's how you live in Brazil...and Framingham is just a northern suburb of Rio these days...all illegal, of course.
Lema was originally scheduled to be arraigned Monday, but there was no Spanish interpreter available in court, so he was released on the condition he return to court for his arraignment.
