Virginia Beach police officer loses job after DUI conviction
Posted on Dec 20, 2009
A Virginia Beach police officer who was caught driving while intoxicated back in June has lost his job. Bryan K. Womble,37. who was off-duty at the time of the incident, was caught after hitting another car in Virginia Beach and then driving away. He was found to have a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15.
After being charged with hit and run and drunk driving, Womble was sentenced in September. As a result of the sentence he had to spend five days in jail, pay $500 in fines, he has lost his license for one year, must attend alcohol safety awareness classes and use an ignition interlock device for six months.
After his arrest, the police department put Womble on administrative duty, and after being convicted he was suspended without pay. The Virginia Beach Police department declined to provide additional details about Womble’s job loss.
Womble was a well-regarded member of the Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit, previously known as the Selective Enforcement Team. Part of his job with the specialized team was to target drunk drivers. Womble was notorious for arresting retired NFL star Bruce Smith on DUI charges, just one month before his own arrest.
