Worchester Bishop Robert McManus charged with drunken driving WORCESTER, Mass., May 6 (UPI) -- A Roman Catholic bishop from Massachusetts was arrested for alleged drunken driving near his Rhode Island vacation home, police said. Worcester Diocese Bishop Robert J. McManus was arrested Saturday and charged with drunken driving and refusing a chemical test after police said he was involved in a hit-and-run property damage accident. The man whose vehicle McManus allegedly hit followed the bishop to his home in Narragansett, R.I., where police arrested him, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported Monday. McManus, the former auxiliary bishop in Providence, R.I., who has been in Worcester since 2004, released a statement apologizing for the incident. "On Saturday evening, May 4, I made a terrible error in judgment by driving after having consumed alcohol with dinner," he wrote. There is no excuse for the mistake I made, only a commitment to make amends and accept the consequences of my action. More importantly, I ask forgiveness from the good people whom I serve, as well as my family and friends, in the Diocese of Worcester and the Diocese of Providence.
