Police said he was unable to perform field sobriety tests due to his injuries and vomited before he was placed under arrest, records show. A police report filed in court said officers arrived at the crash to find Oliver’s Lincoln Navigator overturned. Oliver ”was sitting on a chair that a civilian had brought out for him,” the report said. “Shawn was observed to have a laceration on the right side of his head and was bleeding.”Police also spotted a badly damaged gray Camry and an extensively damaged red Camry. The latter vehicle “was pushed back, causing it to collide into another parked vehicle,” police said. “In total, 5 parked vehicles were involved.”One witness, police said, described being behind Oliver’s Navigator at a red light before the crash. “The witness stated that when the light turned green, the Navigator remained stopped, he then had to put his car in reverse in order to see if the light was green,” police said.

The economic strain is becoming a growing political concern for Republicans in states they have long dominated. President Donald Trump is heading to Kansas on Monday and Iowa later in the week, the latest in a series of stops where he’s trying to energize his base in the final weeks before the midterm elections. The visits come as Republicans pour money into Senate races in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa amid concerns about voter enthusiasm. The anxiety may be especially notable in Kansas — a state Trump won by 16 percentage points against Democrat Kamala Harris in 2024 — as Republican Sen. Roger Marshall faces a tough challenge from Democrat Adam Hamilton. Democrats have not won a Senate election in Kansas in 94 years.

As Shawn Oliver’s arrest on drunken driving charges over the weekend threatened to disrupt the campaign’s closing message, Minogue on Sunday quickly called on the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor to suspend his campaign. It was a dramatic demand with just over two weeks until Election Day, and a rare public break between two candidates sharing a ticket. Within hours, Oliver did, saying the election was too important “to be overshadowed by personal matters.” The New Bedford City Councilor’s quick departure spared Minogue from a prolonged public rupture, even though Oliver’s name will remain next to his on voters’ Nov. 3 ballots. But it also marked only the latest snag for the Republican Party already struggling to regain relevance on Beacon Hill. The party earlier this year was still facing financial challenges despite vows to turn the page from years of debts. GOP candidates are fighting Trump-fueled headwinds in a state where the president remains deeply unpopular.

“After careful reflection, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Lieutenant Governor,” Oliver said in a statement shared Sunday afternoon by a spokesperson for the state Republican Party. “This election is too important to be overshadowed by personal matters. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported me throughout this journey and ask that my family’s privacy be respected during this difficult time.”With early voting already underway and hundreds of thousands of people already having submitted their ballots by mail, Oliver’s name will remain on voters’ ballots alongside Minogue’s. Minogue said earlier Sunday that beyond calling on Oliver to end his campaign, he would “formally ask for his resignation” should both he and the New Bedford city councilor be elected Nov. 3. Minogue and Oliver were challenging Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, both first-term Democrats who have led the Republican nominees by a wide margin in public polling. A New Bedford police spokesperson said officers responded around 11:40 p.m.
