Virginia Beach’s landscape supervisor has been charged with a DUI after striking a motorcycle then leaving the scene of the accident. The crash left the driver of the motorcycle and his passenger injured.
The city employee, Juanita Demastus, was driving near her home in the 600 block of Grant Street when she failed to yield and struck a motorcycle. The motorcycle driver, Chris Zimmerman, and his passenger Gemariah Shaw were both thrown into Demastus’ Jeep.
As a result of the crash, Zimmerman and Shaw were taken to the hospital by ambulance. Zimmerman was left with 72 stitches in his face; Shaw blacked out when he was hit.
Demascus was found because her next door neighbor noticed her coming home at 12:30am. Demascus apparently told her neighbor, Debbie Tarkenton-Richter, that she had been drinking and hit something.
Tarkenton-Richter and others ran a block away and saw the crash scene, then called police. The police came to Demascus’ home and arrested her.
Demascus was charged with two counts of hit and run involving personal injury and one count of driving under the influence (DUI). She declined to speak to a local newspaper and give a statement from her jail cell in Virginia Beach.
