STAFFORD, Va. — A man was arrested for driving under the influence on Richmond Highway in the early hours of Halloween morning, marking his second drunken driving offense in five years, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on Oct. 31 when Deputy R. Tully observed an SUV swerve at 45 mph near the intersection of Richmond Highway and Jason Lane and accelerate to 65 mph. Deputy Tully conducted a traffic stop and questioned the driver about his erratic driving and excessive speed. The unnamed driver reportedly told the deputy there was “no reason” for his speed and admitted to drinking “a couple of Jack and Coca-Cola’s” before driving.

When the driver’s record was examined, it was revealed that his license was revoked last year after he was previously convicted of drunk driving. The driver was taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence (second offense within five years), driving after license revocation, careless driving, and traffic lane violation.

The driver was transported to Rappahannock Parish Jail, where he is being held without bail.
