Stafford Woman Arrested for Second DUI in Two Months

**Stafford, VA** – A traffic stop on Wednesday led to the arrest of a 41-year-old Stafford woman for driving under the influence for the second time in two months.

On Wednesday at around 9:50 p.m., Sergeant A.T. Leckemby noticed a vehicle with expired registration traveling north on Richmond Highway. The driver did not initially stop, continuing onto Bells Hill Road and then Oak Drive before eventually pulling over.

She admitted to having consumed alcohol before driving, which she stated was her usual routine prior to going home, a destination she ambiguously referred to as being “two weeks” away.

Field sobriety tests led to Morales’s detention. A search revealed numerous empty or nearly empty liquor bottles in her vehicle, and records showed a prior DUI charge in October. Morales now faces charges of driving under the influence second offense within five years with a blood alcohol content above .2, drinking while driving, and having expired vehicle inspection and registration. She is currently held without bond at Rappahannock Regional Jail
