DORSET, Vt. — Vermont State Police say a man faces a drunken driving charge after driving onto the lawn of a historic home once owned by the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Police say 55-year-old Donald Blood III of Marlborough, Mass., was ordered to appear in court in Bennington on Jan. 14.
Police say Blood thought he was driving into a parking lot, but actually it was the lawn of the Wilson House, built in 1852 in Dorset, the birthplace of AA co-founder Bill Wilson.
The Wilson House's website describes it as a "place of sanctuary where people can come to give thanks to God for their new lives."
It still hosts several AA meetings each week.

Quote: "home once owned by the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous." Why does the media have to falsely write and/or dramatize stories. "Once owning" isn't the same as "owned by." Once owned could mean 40 years ago and is really irrelevant.
