Driving below the speed limit doesn’t usually call much attention to police, but driving over 40 miles below the speed limit on a highway led to the arrest of a Williamsburg man for OWI.
Police reportedly observed 35-year-old Christopher Vaughn driving at 22 miles an hour on Highway 218 Sunday night at approximately 9:40. He also allegedly crossed the fog line and drove over a cement center median.
When stopped, he had the odor of ingested alcohol and watery eyes. He allegedly admitted to having three tall beers at nearby Riverside Casino. A check of his PBT showed him over the legal limit, and Vaughn refused a Datamaster test.
A check of his driving records showed a previous OWI from Texas in 2014.
Vaughn was charged with his second OWI, an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to two years if convicted.
