A Cape Cod woman who allegedly drove drunk with her 3-year-old twins in the car will be one of many people appearing in Barnstable District Court tomorrow morning after a particularly violent and busy New Year’s holiday for police.

Heather Parris, 42, of Hyannis, was pulled over for driving 56 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone on Buck Island Road in Yarmouth, said Lieutenant Steve Xiarhos. The officer who stopped her shortly before midnight Thursday noticed that her two young children were not in child seats and that Parris appeared intoxicated.

Police said her blood alcohol content was 0.19, nearly 2 ½ times the legal limit. A passenger, identified by police as the children’s father, Dwyane Brown, 38, of Hyannis, had a blood alcohol content of 0.30.

Parris was uncooperative and refused to answer questions, according to police. They said she tried to leave and was wrestled to the ground by officers.

“She tried to get back in the car to leave,’’ said Yarmouth police Sergeant Mike Bryant. “She was yelling and screaming that we didn’t have the right to stop her.’’

Parris was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, speeding, failure to wear a seat belt, child endangerment while operating under the influence, and two counts of having children under age 5 in a car without a proper seat.

The children, Xiarhos said, are 3-year-old fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. One was in a booster seat for children more than 40 pounds and the other was in a household “kitchen-style’’ booster seat not approved for use in cars, police said. The toddlers were taken into protective custody by the Department of Children and Families.

Police in Yarmouth are recovering after what Xiarhos called “a busy and violent start to 2010’’ in that Cape Cod town.
