A wrong-way driver on I-95 was arrested on Christmas Day after a brief pursuit in Stafford County.
On December 25 at 5:09 a.m. Deputy B.M. Taylor was called to Interstate 95 near the 136-mile marker, near Stafford Regional Airport, for a complaint of a Dodge Charger going northbound in the southbound lanes.
Sergeant J.T. Forman also responded to the area and located the suspect’s vehicle. The vehicle was traveling in the correct direction by that time, police said.
The driver of the Dodge had corrected his direction but was traveling at approximately 50 mph and using all three lanes to navigate the nearly empty highway, police said.
The deputy attempted to stop the car, but the driver refused and increased his speed into the 70s. Finally, after two miles, the emergency lights and sirens cajoled the suspect into pulling to the shoulder and stopping, police said.
Police arrested and charged him with DUI with a blood alcohol content over .20, eluding, drinking while driving, and a traffic lane violation. He was held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail pending his ability to participate in a bond hearing.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
