Ex-Boston Bruins star gets probation in drunken driving case

Jul 6, 2016 | 3:25 PM

LAWRENCE, Mass. — Former Boston Bruins star Ray Bourque (bork) has acknowledged there is enough evidence to find him guilty of drunken driving.

Bourque admitted Wednesday in Lawrence District Court that prosecutors have sufficient evidence to convict him of driving under the influence when his Mercedes-Benz rear-ended a minivan on June 24.

Police said Bourque had a blood-alcohol level of 0.249, three times the state’s legal limit to drive.

Under Massachusetts law, Bourque’s “admission to sufficient facts” plea will resolve the case without a guilty finding if he successfully completes a one-year term of probation.
