Man wanted in Fairfax County hit-and-run arrested in Stafford

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — A man wanted out of Fairfax County on a felony hit-and-run charge was arrested Tuesday in Stafford County, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said at 10:18 a.m., a Nissan was seen drifting out of its lane on I-95 Southbound near mile-marker 136, resulting in another driver swerving onto the shoulder to avoid a collision.

When a deputy drove alongside the Nissan, they noticed the driver’s eyes were closed, prompting a traffic stop. During the stop, the driver, identified as 29-year-old Luke Williamson, was showing signs of intoxication and questioned the reason for being pulled over.

An initial investigation discovered that Williamson was being sought in Fairfax County for a felony hit-and-run charge and had been previously convicted of a DUI in 2018.

Deputies said Williamson was charged with driving under the influence–second offense within five to ten years, the traffic lane violation, and served on his outstanding warrant.

Williamson is being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
