Virginia Beach Police Sergeant Arrested for DUI
Posted on Feb 12, 2010
Late Sunday night after the Super Bowl, a state trooper pulled over 37-year-old James Eric Riddick on I-264 in Virginia Beach. The state trooper said that Riddick had been 'weaving' and, when he pulled him over, smelled strongly of alcohol. Riddick failed field sobriety tests and registered a BAC of .18, more than twice the legal limit of .08. Riddick was arrested and charged with drunken driving; he spent the night in jail and posted bond the next morning.
James Eric Riddick is a Virginia Beach police sergeant and a 15-year veteran of the Police Department. He is on administrative leave pending the outcome of his trial on May 18th.
