Controversy surrounds wrong-way Virginia Beach driver charged with DUI
Posted on Jun 25, 2009
The attorney for a man who crashed head-on into a state trooper while driving the wrong way on Eastbound 264 claims that the man was not drunk at the time of the crash. The man, 44 year old Cleveland Robertson, entered 264 from the Oceanfront at 21st street and Parks Avenue headed westbound against traffic.
Robertson first hit a Chevy Malibu containing three teenagers, and continued on to hit a Virginia State Trooper vehicle head-on. The trooper, Lee White, was trying to stop Robertson with his police cruiser. However Robertson kept driving after that collision as well, eventually coming to a stop.
Robertson was arrested by White and is currently in the Virginia Beach Jail. He has been charged with driving drunk and two felony counts of hit and run. His attorney, however, maintains that Robertson was not intoxicated when the crash occurred.
According to his attorney, White suffers from brain damage after a workplace injury in 2003 left him “forgetful and easily confused”. The only substance that might have been in his system, argues the lawyer, is medication for Robertson’s brain damage.
Officials are waiting for results from a blood test that will confirm whether or not Robertson was intoxicated.
