Another Virginia Beach police officer accused of DUI hit-and-run
Posted on Dec 29, 2009
A Virginia Beach police officer has been charges with driving under the influence and hit-and-run after a weekend accident. This is the second time this year that a Virginia Beach police officer has been charged with both DUI and hit and run.
The officer, Stephane Prevot, crashed into a neighbor’s mailbox in the 1100 block of Myrtle Avenue in Chesapeake just before noon on Saturday. As a result of the accident Prevot has been charged with DUI and hit-and-run.
A Virginia Beach spokesperson declined to provide any additional details about the case. All the spokesperson would tell reporters is that Prevot has been a Virginia Beach police officer since January 2005.
The first Virginia Beach police officer charged with DUI and hit-and-run was Bryan K. Womble, 37. In June Womble hit a car in Virginia Beach, drove away, and was later stopped by another officer. Womble was found to have a BAC of 0.15 at the time of the incident.
Since his initial arrest Womble pled guilty and was convicted of the DUI and hit-and-run charges, spent 5 days in jail, and will also have to pay a $500 fine, lose his license for a year, attend alcohol safety awareness classes, and use an ignition interlock device for six months. Womble also lost his job as a result of the conviction.
