Wales,ME : Wales man charged with drunken driving after Litchfield crash on March, Tuesday 27th 2018

A Wales man has been charged with felony drunken driving after a crash Tuesday on Buker Road in Litchfield that left him with neck injuries.

Felix W. Hamel, 57, who appeared in court Friday at the Capital Judicial Center via video from the Kennebec County jail for his initial appearance, was charged with criminal operating under the influence, operating after suspension and operating beyond license condition or restriction.

When he appeared, Hamel was in a wheelchair and wore a neck brace. Because the operating under the influence charge is a felony, no pleas were entered Friday.

As Hamel’s prior record of convictions was read, he said, “What the hell is all this?”

“It’s your record,” said Stephen Bourget, serving as defense attorney for the day.

During the proceeding, Hamel held his hands to his face and sighed heavily several times.
