Rhode Island man charged with two separate DUIs on Valentine’s Day

Love is blind … drunk.

A Rhode Island man got arrested and charged with DUI twice in the same day on Valentine’s Day, according to cops.

Patrick Cahill, 62, was first busted at 2:26 a.m. after state troopers pulled him over following “multiple calls” about him driving the wrong way on I-95 north near Warwick, Rhode Island State Police said.

He pleaded no contest to one charge of DUI in court later that morning and was allowed to go free — only to get arrested again that night, officials said.

Cahill was again pulled over by another trooper on I-95 at 8:43 p.m. — almost exactly 18 hours after his first arrest — this time near the Town of East Greenwich, state police said.

He was charged with driving under the influence — noted as his second offense — as well as driving on a suspended license, police said.

This time, he was detained as a probation violator pending a court hearing on Monday, police said. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer who could respond to the allegations.
