Bond revoked for man accused in Virginia Beach DUI hit-and-run
Posted on 4/26/2010
A man accused of driving drunk and crashing into and elderly pedestrian in Virginia Beach has had his bond revoked. The man, Dorek Hayes, 29, was accused of driving while intoxicated. He is also accused of hitting Mary Edwards, 73, on Honeygrove Road in December, then fleeing the scene of the accident.
Hayes was arrested about a block away from where he ran into Edwards when he crashed into a van. After the accident Hayes was charged with driving while intoxicated twice in a five year period, maiming, refusing to take a blood or breath test, and hit and run with injuries. In January he was released on $7,500 bond – with conditions including a 10pm curfew, no alcohol, and he was supposed to seek employment.
Hayes bond was revoked this month when a Circuit Court Judge decided that he should remain in custody pending the outcome of his trial. The judge was influenced by information from Hayes’ pretrial officer who reported that Hayes was found to have alcohol in his system four times in the last three months. This was in violation of his bond conditions, and led to him being taken back into custody.
Edwards was left bedridden after the accident and still requires a feeding tube. She had to be hospitalized after being hit, with fractures in both her ankles, legs, pelvis, ribs and back. Her husband, Francis Edwards, believes that the accident could have been prevented if Hayes had received a stiffer punishment the first time he was caught drinking and driving.
