From the Stafford sheriff’s office:
A 48-year-old Woodbridge woman earned her fourth DUI after deciding to exit I-95 into Stafford County.
On October 25th at approximately 11:50 p.m. Deputy C.A. Osborne responded to a drunk driver complaint. The caller advised a Toyota was serving around traffic and nearly struck two vehicles while traveling South on I-95. Luckily, the driver decided to take the 140 exit and proceeded towards Wonder Road. That is when Deputy Osborne located the vehicle and made contact with the driver.
The driver, identified as Blanca Azucena Herrera Argueta, had signs of intoxication, including glassy, bloodshot eyes and the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. She would state her cousin was actually the driver, but magically disappeared right before Deputy Osborne arrived. When that lie was dissolved, field sobriety tests began.
Herrera was detained and transported to the Sheriff’s Office for a blood draw. There, she would resist and began rolling around on the floor in an attempt to delay the procedure. After her performance, she was transported to Rappahannock Regional Jail. There she was charged with driving under the influence fourth offense within ten years, second offense refusal, obstruction of justice, driving after forfeiture of her license, and driving while revoked. She was held without bond.
