SOUTHBOROUGH — A Worcester man was arrested Saturday evening on drunken driving and child endangerment charges following a traffic stop in Southborough.
According to Southborough Police Chief Ryan Newell, at around 6:55 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, Southborough Police Detective Anthony Vega stopped a vehicle with a defective headlight at the intersection of Marlboro and Sears roads.
Officers detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver, later identified as Honorio Lisboa Jr., 42, of Worcester, Chief Newell said, adding that when he was pulled over, Lisboa parked in a private driveway and did not possess a valid driver’s license.
Lisboa had three passengers in the vehicle — an adult female in the front passenger seat and two small children in rear-facing car seats in the backseat.
The name and Social Security number Lisboa initially gave to Detective Vega were later found to belong to another individual after the information was checked through the Registry of Motor Vehicles’ database.
At around this time, Officers Theodore Davis and Joseph DeLuca responded to the scene to assist. Police reported that Lisboa had glassy eyes and slurred speech.
Following an investigation, officers determined Lisboa had been operating under the influence and took him into custody without incident, Chief Newell said.
During an inventory search of the vehicle, Detective Vega located three empty nip bottles — one Smirnoff, two Fireball — along with two opened Fireball nips, and three sealed Heineken bottles.
Chief Newell said Lisboa eventually provided his real name and date of birth during booking, which revealed an outstanding warrant out of Polk County, Florida.
Honorio Lisboa Jr., 42, of Worcester, was arrested and charged with the following:
- Operating Under the Influence (OUI) of Liquor
- Child Endangerment while OUI
- Operation of a Motor Vehicle with a License Suspended (Subsequent Offense)
- Motor Vehicle Operator Refusing to Identify Self
- Possession of an Open Container of Alcohol
- Trespass with Motor Vehicle
- Motor Vehicle Lights Violation
- License Not in Possession
- Failure to Notify RMV of Name/Address Change
- Fugitive from Justice on Court Warrant
On Sunday, Feb. 15, Lisboa was transported to the Worcester House of Correction and was scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026, in Westborough District Court.
