Summary
April 21 plea terms put Leslie Snell’s DUI charge on hold for one year without a formal finding after police said she crashed into a street sign in Yarmouth.
The agreement requires the Nantucket planning director to surrender her license for 45 days, complete an alcohol education course and pay $600 in fines.
Newly released bodycam video shows Snell struggling with field sobriety tests after telling an officer she had “just a couple of drinks” at a nearby restaurant.
Police said they found a vodka bottle and a box of White Claws in her Jeep and observed glassy, bloodshot eyes, alcohol odor and incoherent speech.
Snell later said she deeply regretted the April 20 incident, accepted full responsibility and considered the matter resolved.
