Drunk Man Busted For Back-To-Back Crashes In Sterling: Police

STERLING, VA—There were several reasons why Sterling resident Lamar D. Lawshe should have thought better of getting behind the wheel of a vehicle late Wednesday afternoon. First and foremost, he was drunk. Second, he doesn't have a driver's license.

Alas both for him and the owners of two other vehicles in the area, Lawshe, 39, decided to do it anyway. Two crashes later, not to mention a trip to the hospital, he wound up in the custody of the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

Lawshe was charged with driving while intoxicated, hit and run, driving without a license, no insurance, expired rejection of inspection and reckless driving.

Shortly after 6 p.m., police responded to a hit-and-run crash in the area of Route 7 and Bartholomew Fair Drive. Then, a short time later, police responded to a crash in the area of Heather Glen Road. Turns out the driver involved both in that crash and the earlier crash was none other than Lawshe, who was taken to a hospital with injuries.
