STAFFORD, VA—A man was arrested early Wednesday morning at the Wawa on South Gateway Drive for public intoxication and consuming alcohol in public view. The incident occurred at approximately 2:44 AM.

First Sergeant N. Zotos and Deputy J.A. Martin responded to a call from a woman who reported that a man had aggressively demanded she contact the police because he was intoxicated. Upon arrival, deputies located the suspect who not only admitted to being drunk but also continued to consume alcohol in their presence.

Due to his belligerent behavior, the man was detained and is being held pending his ability to participate in a bond hearing.
