DUI-enforcement officer accused of DUI

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., June 21 (UPI) -- Police in Virginia Beach, Va., say a drunken driving charge has been filed against a DUI-enforcement officer.

Police said Master Police Officer Bryan K. Womble, a member of the department's Selective Enforcement team, was arrested Saturday after a two-vehicle crash, The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Sunday.

The Selective Enforcement team, which has eight members, focuses on enforcing drunken driving laws in Virginia Beach.

As a member of the unit, Womble arrested former NFL star Bruce Smith on a drunken driving charge in May.

The Virginian-Pilot said in 2007 alone, Womble was responsible for 70 DUI arrests.

A police spokesman said Womble, 36, has been assigned to administrative duties following his arrest. He posted a $500 personal recognizance bond, the Virginian-Pilot said.

There were no injuries in Saturday's accident but further details were not reported.
