A 27-year-old Stafford man is lucky to be alive after rolling his vehicle due to driving intoxicated. On June 13th, at approximately 10:48 a.m., Deputy J.L. Jones responded to Kimberwick Lane for a single vehicle auto accident. It was advised a vehicle was currently in a ditch. When Deputy Jones arrived on scene, he located the mangled vehicle partly still in the roadway. It was determined the driver was traveling from work when he lost control of his vehicle. He struck a mailbox and mounting post before rolling into the ditch. The driver had slurred speech, the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath, and admitted to drinking prior to driving. Located within the vehicle were three completely empty bottles of alcoholic beverages. The driver was charged with driving under the influence, failure to maintain proper control of a vehicle, and destruction of property. He was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $2,500 secured bond, and until he was no longer intoxicated. |
