Woodbridge, Va. –– Police say a Lorton man stopped on DUI suspicion tried to run away on foot but was later captured.
Officers stopped a driver in the area of Old Bridge Road and Westridge Drive in Lake Ridge about 2:11 a.m. Saturday.
An officer got of the patrol car and approached the driver, spoke with him, but the driver then raced off, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
The driver led police on a chase to the area of Westridge Drive and Quarterhorse Lane where he jumped out of his car and fled on foot.
Officers caught up with the man and arrested him.
Oliver Rivera-Williams, 25, is charged with felony eluding, driving under the influence of alcohol, with resisting arrest and with driving on a suspended license, said Perok.
He is scheduled to appear in court May 3.
Police in Woodbridge were also kept busy over the weekend with a series of larcenies from autos.
Officers were called to the area of Jonathan Court and Vals Way in Montclair for a report of several cars had been broken into and valuables removed, said Perok.
The items, however, were dumped in a surrounding neighborhood.
At 8:38 a.m. Saturday, police were called to Lindsay Chevrolet on U.S. 1 in Woodbridge after someone stole 20 tires and rims from five cars parked on the lot. A sixth vehicle had a rear window smashed out, said Perok.
The damage was valued at $15,500, and the incident is possibly related to another vandalism reported on March 7 in Manassas.
Vandals went to Koons GMC and stole 36 tires and rims valuing $45,000, police said.

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.”
