Toms River man charged with sexually abusing lost teen

Stafford, VA – An incident involving a suspected drunk driver was reported in South Stafford when officers responded to a call about a driver who was under the influence of alcohol at approximately 10:11 p.m. on Monday. The situation occurred at a Wawa supermarket at 275 Butler Road. The caller informed authorities of a Chevy Cruze in which the driver was arguing with a passenger over a bottle of alcohol and was reportedly drinking alcohol at the same time as a soft drink driver.

Deputy First Sergeant N. Zotos and Deputy SA Fulford were dispatched to manage the situation. Before officers could arrive, the driver initially left the scene of the accident, but soon returned so police could initiate a traffic stop in the Wawa parking lot.

During the stop, the 26-year-old driver exhibited clear signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol. A search of the vehicle uncovered two nearly empty bottles of Captain Morgan Rum, one of which was located under the driver’s seat. However, Captain Jack Sparrow was not in the vehicle.

The driver is charged with, among other things, driving under the influence of alcohol, drunk driving, refusing to cooperate and improperly displaying the license plate.
