“I’m not guilty because 1 wasn't driving,” Selena Lynn Lee told Judge John Alexander in General District Court last week.
Lee claimed that she had taken the blame for a two-car accident occurring in Rappahannock County in early July to protect her friend, Sherry Ayers, who was actually driving.
“She has a worse record,” said Lee, who added that they persuaded the occupants of the other vehicle to go along with the switch.
Lee said that she had had some beer but not enough, she thought, to cause her to be intoxicated. When her Mood alcohol test showed up at the legal lower limit for drunk driving, she realized it was she who was in more serious trouble. She and Ayers went to Trooper Howe and explained their deception.
Ayers took the stand and corroborated Lee’s story. The judge dismissed the case.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said later that charges of giving false information to an officer would be made against the women. “This is happening more and more,” he said. “It puts us in a bad position — we don’t know which version is right and we have only administered one blood alcohol test at the scene.”
