Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says he went to his rural
home the day after the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect was captured
and got "quite drunk" alone at a restaurant.
The Democrat made his comments Wednesday while visiting a
Cambridge marketing firm.
Patrick says he was relieved that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was
captured on April 19 because otherwise people would have been complaining about
the "shelter in place" order he gave that day, locking down Boston
and several suburbs.
Maggie Merelle, co-owner of the restaurant Rouge in West
Stockbridge, told the Boston Herald that Patrick had a "glass of
chardonnay or two" with dinner but wasn't drunk.
Merelle told the Herald that hosting the governor that
evening made her feel "like an old Jewish mother feeding him. We just
wanted to nourish him."
Patrick said he had no money and couldn't pay his bill.
Merelle says he eventually settled his tab.
