STAFFORD, Va. — A man was arrested early Halloween morning for driving under the influence on Richmond Highway, marking his second DUI 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 swerving and speeding 65 mph in a 45 mph zone near the intersection of Richmond Highway and Jason Lane. Deputy Tully conducted a traffic stop and questioned the driver regarding his erratic driving and excessive speed. The driver, whose name has not been released, told the deputy there was “no reason” for his speed and admitted to having “a few Jack and Cokes” before driving.

A check of the driver’s record showed his license had been revoked following a previous DUI conviction last year. The driver was arrested and charged with driving under the influence (second offense within five years), driving after license suspension, reckless driving and lane violation.

The driver was booked into the Rappahannock Regional Jail, where he is being held without bond.
