On Sept. 28 at around 7:45 a.m., officers found a Hyundai Sonata lodged in an embankment at the intersection of Mountain View Road and Kellogg Mill Road, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office.
The driver of the Sonata, 57-year-old William Pandolfi, fled the scene and tried to hitch a ride on the back of a nearby garbage truck, authorities said.
When the garbage truck driver told Pandolfi to get lost, police found the suspect walking around the area, officials said.
Pandolfi attempted to hide in a thorny brush, but was eventually taken into custody, police reported.
Police said he was charged with DUI, hit and run and a traffic lane violation, and was held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $10,000 bond.
Pandolfi is no stranger to the prison system.
He is a registered sex offender and violently sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in 1998, according to his case information.
In 2018, Pandolfi was accused of threatening and groping a transgender woman at a New Hampshire restaurant, according to Fosters.com.
