Virginia Beach police officer headed to jail after DUI hit and run conviction
Posted on Nov 17, 2009
The Virginia Beach policeman found guilty of driving under the influence and hit and run after an accident on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront this past June will not file an appeal. The officer, Bryan Womble, was convicted in Virginia Beach last month and is now headed to jail.
According to witnesses, Womble crashed into a car along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and kept on driving. He claimed that he did not intend to flee the scene of the crash but was instead disoriented from being hit in the face by his vehicle’s airbag.
Fellow officers testified against Womble at his trial, stating that Womble’s BAC came in at 0.15 on a breathalyzer test administered at the scene and also that Womble smelled like alcohol and was swaying and slurring.
Prior to his arrest Womble was a lead member of a local DUI enforcement team and was best known as the officer who arrested NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith for drunk driving. Womble’s own DUI crash happened one month after Smith’s arrest, which was his third for driving under the influence.
As a result of his conviction Womble’s driver’s license will be suspended for 12 months, he will spend five days in jail, he’ll have to pay a $250 fine, and he will need to enroll in an alcohol safety awareness program.
