A New York man’s road trip to Miami was cut short after a DUI arrest outside America’s Best Wings in South Stafford. Deputies say Jeanpaul Donoso, 47, was found stumbling to his car with food in hand on July 26. Witnesses reported he appeared drunk when he arrived. A search of his vehicle turned up a white powdery substance. Donoso, who had a prior DUI in 2016, now faces charges of second offense DUI, refusal, and drug possession. He’s being held on a $10,000 bond.
Two inmate assaults were reported July 28 at Rappahannock Regional Jail—one involving a single victim, the other involving two. All aggressors were charged accordingly.
A man on White Pine Circle was arrested for public intoxication, destruction of property, and simple assault after deputies found him drunk and angry over a bike mishap, while another man was arrested for public intoxication on Lookout Way after being found passed out with a wine cooler in hand.
Other notable incidents included a DUI with a concealed weapon on Richmond Highway, a fraud scam targeting an Uber driver, a hit and run by a Walmart delivery driver on Holly Knoll Court, a larceny of deodorant from Walmart, and a warrant served at Motel 6 involving a runaway juvenile and a suspect wanted out of Delaware.
