Oliver, a New Bedford city councilor, appeared in New Bedford District Court a day after his arrest. He faces charges of operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, a marked-lanes violation and speeding. His driver’s license was suspended following the crash. He is due back in court Nov. 16.

Police say Oliver’s SUV struck multiple parked vehicles on Dartmouth Street around 11:40 p.m. Saturday and overturned. He was taken to a hospital for treatment before being arrested. A police report says he had a bleeding cut on his head, later closed with staples.

According to the report, a witness who was driving behind Oliver told police that Oliver did not move when a traffic light turned green, then reversed to check the signal. The witness said Oliver drove through the intersection, drifted toward the curb, swerved across the road and hit parked cars. Police wrote that the SUV was traveling fast enough to knock one vehicle out of the roadway and push several others into one another.

Oliver told police he had consumed at least two drinks earlier that evening at Black Bass Grill, according to the report. An officer described his eyes as bloodshot and glassy and said he smelled of alcohol. Police also reported that Oliver vomited before his arrest at the hospital. The charges are allegations, and Oliver has pleaded not guilty.

Oliver and his attorney, John Hendrie, did not respond to reporters’ questions as they left court Monday.

Oliver was running for lieutenant governor alongside Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Minogue. After Oliver’s arrest, Minogue called on him to suspend his campaign and said he would ask Oliver to resign if elected governor. Oliver announced Sunday that he was ending his campaign, citing the importance of the election and asking for privacy for his family.

His name will nevertheless remain on the ballot. The Secretary of State’s office said the deadline for primary-nominated candidates to withdraw was Sept. 4, and ballots have already been printed. Nearly 300,000 Massachusetts voters had cast ballots as of Monday, according to the office.

If the ticket wins, Oliver could decline to take the oath of office, leaving the lieutenant governor’s position vacant, the Secretary of State’s office said. Minogue’s campaign has urged supporters to vote for the ticket, arguing that some other states operate without a lieutenant governor and that leaving the post empty would save taxpayers more than $300,000 in salary and security costs.

Democratic Gov. Maura Healey, who is seeking reelection with Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, said she was glad no one was hurt and thanked first responders. She also criticized what she called turmoil in Minogue’s campaign, while saying she would focus on issues including housing and household energy costs.

Oliver was previously the running mate of Brian Shortsleeve, who left the Republican gubernatorial race. Shortsleeve said Monday that Oliver had made the right decision for himself and his family and urged attention to Minogue’s bid for governor.

Election Day is Nov. 3.
