Does this guy look happy about the way people are treated under current DUI laws?

Meet Virginia Beach Master Police Officer Bryan K. Womble, 36. He might look familiar if you have ever been arrested for DUI in VA Beach. He is a member of the Police Department's eight man Selective Enforcement team, which specializes in DUI. He's also the officer who arrested retired NFL star Bruce Smith last month on a charge of drunken driving.

I am looking at this mug shot and I want to feel sorry for the subject. But it's hard. You see, he's been going around lecturing people about the dangers of drunk driving. According to an article in Pilot online, "Womble... was one of two Beach officers to be flown aboard the carrier Theodore Roosevelt last year to teach sailors the dangers of drunken driving." Guess whose tax dollars paid for that adventure.

Now he's been arrested for driving under the influence. This is a familiar pattern. Cops get arrested for DUI quite frequently. Especially if they have been recognized for DUI arrests by their bosses or the hysterical buttinskies at MADD. No word on a BAC yet. Did he refuse? One would hope so, but he could have been a stone cold sober victim of faulty police tests that wrongfully labelled him as a drunk. Only time will tell. Good luck Bryan.

If Bryan asked my opinion (he didn't), I'd recommend calling Mike Tillotsen on Monday morning. I'd suggest asking him to provide representation in a very short-notice administrative license suspension hearing, cross examining the arresting officer while a court reporter captures every word.

UPDATE: Womble has already retained counsel. Attorney Larry Slipow is on the job, and hopefully he will get the best results for officer Womble. Best of luck Larry and Bryan!
