DUI Conviction for Former Virginia Beach Police Officer
Posted on May 28, 2010
Another Virginia Beach police officer is in the news because of driving under the influence of alcohol. Stephane N. Prevot, 42, was suspected of driving under the influence the morning after Christmas day.
Fellow officers responding to a drunk and disorderly call found Prevot, whom they suspected was drunk. He had backed out of his driveway and hit a neighbor’s mailbox. A witness observed Prevot then driving down the road, swerving.
Prevot refused to take a breathalyzer or any other blood alcohol level test when he was stopped. He was charged with driving under the influence and hit and run. Prevot had been a Virginia Beach Police Officer for nearly five years when the incident happened.
As a result of his arrest and charges Prevot was placed on administrative duty. He subsequently left the police force earlier this month.
Last year Virginia Beach Police Officer Bryan K. Womble was involved in a car crash, and found to have a BAC of 0.15. Womble was a member of the Traffic Safety Unit, formerly the Selective Enforcement Team. This is a group within the Virginia Beach Police Department that focuses on stopping impaired drivers. He is no longer with the police force
