A life of second chances preceded DUI fatality in Rhode Island

WESTERLY, Rhode Island - The record suggests that judge after judge gave her break after break. Cases were dismissed, she was assigned to drug treatment rather than incarceration, and there were small fines in lieu of jail time.

Elizabeth R. Sacco, most recently of Pawcatuck but a Westerly native who has spent most of her life on Pierce Street, has had more than her share of dealings with police and judges. Documents that chronicle her last 20 years of contact with local law enforcement show a life rife with trouble, mistakes and apparent missteps.

Year after year, Sacco was handed opportunities to get her life together. But now, this 43-year-old woman may be facing time behind bars for allegedly killing her boyfriend, 41-year-old Roger Elkins, who died of injuries he sustained after the car she was driving last summer slammed into a brick wall off Industrial Drive.

Sacco was shown to have a blood alcohol level of 0.299, more than three times what the law allows, according to Rhode Island police.

Over the course of the past two decades, Sacco has had numerous run-ins with local and Rhode Island state police in Rhode Island and Connecticut. In all, the log sheets for Rhode Island police contact with Sacco run two pages, single-spaced. Her ledger shows:

( Eight arrests, including one as recent as 2001, for driving with a suspended license. Her most recent charge was dismissed after she paid court costs.

( Four drug-related cases from 1995 through 1998.

( Scores of incidents involving police contact dating to 1982. Charges include being suspected and arrested for receiving stolen goods, larceny, speeding, having unregistered cars, and providing a place for drug sales.

• Citations for numerous violations and domestic incidents.

• Methamphetamines, rock cocaine, homemade crack pipes and hypodermic syringes have been found in her possession by area law enforcement officers and listed as evidence in police records.

Documents obtained by The Sun show that Sacco also was a victim of domestic assault and abuse in 1998. She told police that she suffered harassment in early 1993 from North End neighbors who allegedly threw rocks at her and her home.

"She did have problems, but that doesn't excuse her behavior," said an area law enforcement officer who asked not to be identified. "She may have been a victim in one way, but she created victims, too."

According to court documents, two Washington County judges - Robert Rahill in 1998 and William Dimitri in 1999 - gave her the benefit of the doubt and a second chance on two separate drug arrests. She was ordered to pay court costs, undergo treatment and pay into a victims' and probation fund.

She received an 18-month probation sentence in the 1998 drug case but drew no jail time. Out of eight cases against her over the years, four were dismissed.

Sacco was first arrested in 1982, when she was accused of causing malicious damage, a misdemeanor. She pleaded out, paid a fine and was on her way. She stayed out of trouble until 1984, when she was arrested in Stonington for disorderly conduct, this time drawing a fine of $50. Another Stonington arrest in 1998 had her convicted of misdemeanor larceny and failure to appear when she didn't show up for her first court appearance.

Since 1990, police notations show that she was involved in drug activity in her North End neighborhood and arrested on cocaine charges. She also had auto accidents, restraining orders and domestic problems.

In 1998 alone, police responded to calls in which Sacco was involved more than 20 times, though she not always was a suspect, arrested or charged party. Included are investigations involving summonses for housing violations, an open line after a 911 call, and trespassers or drug users found on her property.

Earlier this week, a Washington County, Rhode Island grand jury indicted Sacco on one count of driving to endanger with a death resulting, and one count of driving under the influence, with a death resulting in the wake of the July 2002 crash that killed Elkins.

According to Rhode Island police, Sacco was drinking at the Backtrack Bar and Grill on Industrial Drive before the incident. She reportedly was asked to leave the bar because she was fighting with Elkins and other customers.

Police say she and Elkins left the bar and got into her car, with Elkins in the passenger seat. According to police, Sacco "floored it in reverse" and slammed into the side of the Guild Music Building at a speed more than double the posted limit.

Elkins died at the hospital from his injuries.

Police said Sacco not only was very drunk, according to the toxicology report, but high on illegal drugs.

And the file on this case remains open.
