A 47-year-old Bumpass man was able to predict where his trip would end when he was once again discovered to be driving drunk.
On February 27th at approximately 2:54 p.m. Sergeant E.E. West was traveling Eastbound on the divergent diamond on Courthouse Road. While there, she observed a pickup truck ahead of her make an illegal turn in an attempt to enter Southbound I-95. Having witnessed the driver commit a clear traffic violation despite the clearly labeled no turn sign, she initiated a traffic stop.
The driver, identified as Jonathan McCarroll, immediately placed his hands out the driver’s window and advised he knew she would be taking him to jail. McCarroll advised he had a suspended license and that was the reason he would once again end up in Rappahannock Regional Jail. While conversing with him, Sergeant West figured that would not be the only reason, for she observed an open can of alcohol next to McCarroll, as well as, several signs of intoxication. It was later discovered McCarroll’s driver’s license was revoked due to prior DUI convictions, three of them to be exact.
McCarroll was charged with fourth offense driving under the influence within ten years, felony driving with a revoked DUI license, driving after forfeiture of his license, drinking while driving, and the traffic offense. He was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
