Woman Assaults Officer, Arrested On 3rd OWI Charge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A Woodbridge woman was arrested on a series of charges this week after police said she allegedly violated a no-contact order, drove drunk for the third time in five years, and assaulted an officer trying to take her into custody.

Santos Isabel Reyes, 41, was arrested Tuesday after Prince William police were called to a residence in the the 14700 block of Daley Lane. The female caller said the suspect, whom she had a no-contact order against, was knocking on the door to her home.

When police arrived, they saw the suspect pulling away from the home in a gold Nissan Quest. She continued driving down the road with no headlights on, police said, and when officers tried to initiate a traffic stop, Reyes ignored commands and nearly hit multiple parked cars in the process.

Officers were able to stop Reyes on Dillon Avenue just before Cordell Avenue. She appeared intoxicated, police said, and refused commands to get out of her car. As police attempted to detain her, she hit and kicked officers in their upper bodies.

Eventually, Reyes was taken into custody on charges of driving under the influence (third offense in 5 years), assault & battery on a law enforcement officer, violation of a protective order, refusal of breath test, obstruction of justice, failure to stop for police, driving on revoked license, and driving without headlights.
