Deputy P.J. Leon responded to a single vehicle auto accident. A truck had serious damage, including three of the four tires being off the vehicle. Witnesses advised the driver stumbled off after the accident. Deputy Leon located the driver nearby and made contact with him. The driver had severe signs of intoxication and informed Deputy Leon the auto accident was “none of your business.” Due to his level of intoxication and agitated state, deputies attempted to detain him as he resisted. The driver would continue to act belligerently after being detained and threatened to kill deputies. Within the vehicle, deputies located an open beer container. He was charged with driving under the influence second offense within five years, second offense refusal, drinking while driving, two counts of obstruction of justice, as well as, the traffic lane violation. He was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail pending his ability to participate in a bond hearing.
