A Roanoke County Police Detective faces three drunk driving related charges, following an arrest early this past Saturday.
A Roanoke County officer arrested Patricia Farris around 1:40 a.m. on Williamson Road, just north of Lamarre Drive, near a checkpoint on Williamson Road at Old Valley Drive, about a mile away.
Farris faces charges of:
--Driving Under the Influence
--Refusing to take a breath test
--Failure to obey a hand signal by police
The Assistant Police Chief for the Roanoke County Police Department tells me that Farris has worked for the department for nearly five years, and that she is not on regular patrol duty. Beyond that, the Asst. Chief would not add any additional information, calling it a personnel matter.
