Off-duty deputy busts drunk driver

Stafford, VA. On February 1, 2017 at approximately 7 p.m. Deputy B.U. Demirci was off-duty. He was traveling southbound on U.S. Route 1 in his personal vehicle when he observed a dark-colored sedan make a U-turn prior to the Aquia Town Center entrance. While completing the turn the sedan struck the driver’s side of a silver van causing significant damage to both vehicles.

The sedan continued south and Deputy Demirci followed at a safe distance as he called the Emergency Communications Center to have an ambulance dispatched and report the incident. While behind the vehicle Deputy Demirci observed the driver fail to maintain the vehicle in the proper driving lane.

The driver then pulled into Aquia Park, exited his vehicle to inspect the damage and resumed his trip northbound on U.S. Route 1. The driver turned west on Garrisonville Road and patrol units arrived while the vehicle was stopped at the traffic light at Salisbury Drive.
