Robert Maxwell, who lives in a very expensive Radnor Township neighborhood decided to take a booze cruise in his car with his 10 year old son in the back. According to television news reports (still waiting for the papers to be outraged and well there was blood involved so they should be interested), this guy almost rams into some poor woman who naturally blew her horn (wouldn't you if someone was about to HIT you?). He then goes into full road rage (all on the same night the beautiful Christmas Tree was lit last week in Wayne.)

Exclusive: Radnor Man Arrested After Drunken Rampage
December 5, 2011 7:33 PM
......Police say drunk driving suspect Robert Maxwell put the lives of his son and other people at risk in Radnor as he careened around streets filled with holiday shoppers, and people in town for the annual tree lighting ceremony.
The terrifying high-speed ride ended when Maxwell sliced across a front yard and slammed into a boulder, police say the drunken man had no regard for his young son in the car.
“What really turns my stomach, is that during this entire incident his ten year-old son was in the back seat of his car,” said Radnor Police Superintendent William Colarulo.
Colarulo says that it began as Maxwell pulled out of parking lot in Wayne, before exploding into road rage, attacking a woman whose car he nearly hit.
“He starts to beat her. He drags her, throws her into the hedges, and begins to kick her. If it wasn’t for other passersby, to come to help this woman, god knows how serious the injuries would have been,” says Colarulo.
After nearly running down the woman he just attacked, Maxwell, police say, then began swerving down busy lanes of Lancaster Avenue, nearly colliding with two more cars before turning on to Chamounix Road and crashing.
“When the officers asked him how much he had to drink, he responds, ‘too much’.”
This guy makes me want to vomit. Can you imagine the terror that poor woman he attacked felt? And what of his child? 10 years old and he must have been terrified too - and how as a 10 year old would you ever be able to look at a parent after that? How will that child ever erase this from his memory.
I do think Judge Tuten is soft on crime here. $30,000 bail means the guy probably had to post $3,000 to get out. Wonder if he will get a lawyer who will pop him into rehab or a mental program somewhere to try to have further sway with the system? And will he be charged with a DUI? This Maxwell guy could have killed people!
The Main Line around the holidays is always drama, but this is drama people could do without. This is a guy who should be locked up.

This is not the Bobby Maxwell we all know. He is just not like this.
Something strange must have happened to him, for him to behave anywhere like this. We hope everything works out for all involved. Friends and neighbors give our support.

Your comment is phrased oddly. Maybe you really don't know "Bobby". He could have killed his son, that woman, any number of people. There are plenty of people who have problems that boil over during the holidays.
Dude needs rehab and a shrink at a minimum. What he has done very well could rip apart his family. THAT is not fair to them.
His residence is Gulph Creek Drive which is outside the Radnor township boundary, off County Line Rd.
Who is responsible for serving him the alcohol? Was he in the new restaurant Paramour at the Wayne Hotel?
This man's son must have been absolutely petrified at the fighting, the speeding and the crash. And, that the dad kept going even when the boy cried for him to stop. This son's life could be seriously f-ed up now from this example. I have to add: I couldn't watch that ch 3 story without rolling my eyes. Is Colarulo trying to show off his new hair replacement system or plugs or something? He loves watching himself on television.
None of you must know the person who Bob Maxwell is. In a clear state of mind he would never in a million years do any of the things he did that night. He was not in a right state of mind as this is obvious to everyone. Bob was in a blaackout state and everyone clearly educated knows that when you are in a blackout, you have no control. Mr. Maxwell had no idea his son was even in the car at this time. Get your facts straight before you slander a kind man who mentally snapped and go after who he was a few hours prior, kind hearted and a family man.
Anonymous- where did you get your lae degree? In a cracker jack box? Who is slandering him? All anyone has done is comment on PUBLISHED newspaper reports based upon eyewitness accounts recorded by TV media and the police reports. Are they all liars?
Maybe your friend was a nice person but nice people do not do to other human beings what he did. He BEAT a woman. he could have killed himself, others, and his son driving drunk. Blackout state doesn't excuse what happened in polite society.
If he had no idea his kid was in the car that is profoundly disturbing.
Bugger off
Well clearly he snapped and it is just a terrible story that doesn't need some ignorant peoples opinions. Its very sad and hopefully he gets the help he needs to regain his life. It was a thoughtless act plain and simple
