Richmond DUI Arrests Up Labor Day Weekend

Richmond, Virginia area courts should be clogged Tuesday with arraignments for a large number of DUI/DWI arrests over the Labor Day weekend.

Virginia State Police will be stepping up their presence on I-95, I-64, and I-295 in and around Richmond, and local police and sheriffs' departments in Henrico, Goochland, Chesterfield and Hanover counties increasing their presence on local thoroughfares. Of course the objective is to identify and arrest as many persons as possible who are driving under the influence.

DUI/DWI charges are not just traffic offenses, but are Class 1 misdemeanors that show up as a criminal record.  

Persons facing DUI/DWI charges are well-advised to obtain the services of an experienced DUI/DWI attorney to represent them in court. Not all attorneys can defend these cases as well as others. Experience in the courtroom, and aggressively challenging the evidence, can lead to "not guilty" verdicts, or a reduction of the charge to a less serious offense.
