BOSTON -- A Massachusetts state senator who claims his toothpastes caused him to test positive in an alcohol screening days after he began probation has been placed under 24-hour house arrest.

A judge on Wednesday ordered Sen. Anthony Galluccio to stay in his house at all times. For now, he can't attend Senate sessions, which he had been allowed to do under previous terms of his home confinement.

The Cambridge Democrat pleaded guilty last week to leaving the scene of an Oct. 4 accident that caused minor injuries to a father and his 13-year-old son.

Mr. Galluccio is due back in court Jan. 4. If a judge finds that he violated his probation, he could go to jail for up to a year.

Mr. Galluccio said he obeyed an order to abstain from alcohol and blames the positive readings on sorbitol, a sugar alcohol found in toothpastes.
