Driver arrested for DUI and drug possession after wrongful driving complaint at Stafford Burger King

STAFFORD, VA — A woman was arrested on Halloween night after a report of erratic driving led deputies to the Burger King on Warrenton Road, where she was found in line with signs of intoxication, the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office said.

Around 9:10 p.m., a caller notified authorities that the Toyota was turning onto Warrenton Road and running a red light. Sergeant E.E. West located the vehicle in the drive-thru line at Burger King, where the driver had stumbled from his vehicle, causing the suspected drug paraphernalia to fall to the ground.

Noticing signs of intoxication, Sgt. West administered field sobriety tests, which the driver failed to perform. She was taken into custody and charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of a controlled substance, reckless driving and failure to obey a traffic light.

The suspect was booked into the Rappahannock Regional Jail on $2,000 bond. Authorities have not released the name of the driver or other details of the case.
