A felony driving while intoxicated charge was filed Tuesday against a Neosho man with three previous DWI convictions.
Robert Guarino, 62, was cited by the Missouri State Highway Patrol following a crash May 25 on Iris Road near Whispering Pines Road.
From the probable cause statement:
During my contact with Guarino, I formed the opinion that he was intoxicated. This opinion was based on the following:1) He was involved in a crash. (He crossed the center line of the roadway and traveled off the left side of the road, resulting in overturning.)
2) He admitted to having a few drinks.
3) He displayed physical traits of someone who was intoxicated. His speech was very slurred.
4) He had a very strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath.
5) Trooper Coleman located a bottle of alcohol. (Known as an airplane shooter.)
6) The odor of alcohol was strong, where he had crashed and inside the ambulance.
7) Guarino was using vulgar language while in the ambulance.
8) He was falling asleep while I was reading his Miranda rights.
Guarino was processed and released at Freeman Hospital. He was assigned a court date of July 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in the Associate Circuit Court of Newton County, in Neosho, Missouri.
According to the complaint, Guarino pleaded guilty to a DWI in 1984 in Jasper County and to two DWIs that occurred one month apart in 2019.
