University President arrested for 2 DUI charges--in two days

William J. Frawley, 53, was charged yesterday with drunken driving and refusing a Breathalyzer test in Fredericksburg, city police said. Both are misdemeanors.

UMW Rector Bill Poole said Frawley was in Mary Washington Hospital’s intensive care unit this afternoon.

He said at a news conference that he didn’t know the details of Frawley’s injuries.

“The tragedy of all this is he’s such a brilliant man and so capable,” Poole told The Free Lance–Star.

Fairfax County police spokeswoman Camille Neville said today that there is an outstanding warrant for Frawley in Fairfax on a DUI charge from Tuesday.

The president of the University of Mary Washington also faces a charge of drunken driving in Fairfax County stemming from an accident there Tuesday afternoon, Fairfax police said today.

Mary Washington university officials said Frawley left Inova Fairfax early yesterday morning against advice. He was arrested about 2 p.m. yesterday at Brompton, the official residence of the Mary Washington president.

It’s unclear exactly how Frawley got between Inova Fairfax and Fredericksburg.

New Mexico Man Arrested on 28th DWI Charge

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies have arrested a man on suspicion of complaint.

Deputies said they tried to give Brill a field sobriety test but he could not complete the test. He then refused to give a breath test.

Deputies also found an open container of beer in his trunk.

"People like Joseph Brill will never get it. They don't care," Sheriff Darren White said. "He needs to go to prison, and that's the way we're going to insure he does not drive a car drunk."

According to the complaint, Brill had 27 prior DWI offenses with at least 14 convictions before his arrest Wednesday. Records also show that he has had his license revoked five times and has spent nearly four years in New Mexico jails and prisons on DWI charges.

At the time of his arrest, he was on parole for two of the convictions, according to records.

Linda Atkinson, executive director of the Albuquerque-based DWI Resource Center, said she had never seen someone with 28 DWI arrests.

"It's pretty disgusting to see someone who can continue to defy the odds with a history like that," she said.

Brill was being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center on a $100,000 bond. His case will be heard in state district court because it is a felony.

Under New Mexico law, the maximum sentence for a seventh or subsequent DWI is three years in prison, a $5,000 fine, alcohol treatment and lifetime revocation.

Goosey's Gabbings...

28 times, eh? Does this guy have like a Speedpass through the judicial system or something? When questioned as to why he did it, he proclaimed, "I woulda gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddlin' kids!"
