**MEDIA RELEASE**

Event: Travis Scott Dooley Arrest Date: January 12, 2018

Release #: 001 Time: 1145

POC: CPT David Wells

TITLE OF RELEASE: Erroneous information in WTRV 6 story on Travis Dooley arrest.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Next Scheduled Release: As needed

The purpose of this release is to correct erroneous information reported by WTVR 6, a Richmond Virginia

media outlet, on January 12, 2018 in regards to the arrest of Travis Scott Dooley on January 7, 2018. WTVR 6

ran a story titled “Richmond officer allowed to drive home after felony eluding charge” in which they report

“they wrote him a summons for misdemeanor reckless driving and felony eluding police”. This information is

not correct.

On January 7, 2018, a deputy with the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office was running radar on South Boston

Road at 0046 hours. A vehicle came through the radar at a high rate of speed. The deputy activated his blue

emergency light on his marked patrol vehicle to initiate a traffic stop on the speeding vehicle. The speeding

vehicle failed to stop and continued to travel away from the deputy at a high rate of speed. A brief pursuit

ensued and the deputy briefly lost sight of the vehicle. The vehicle was then located parked behind a business

on South Boston Road with Travis Scott Dooley in the driver’s seat of vehicle.

Travis Scott Dooley was arrested, placed in handcuffs, and transported to the Sheriff’s Office where he was

taken before a Magistrate for a probable cause hearing. The Magistrate found probable cause to issue a

misdemeanor warrant for a violation of 46.2-862, Reckless driving by speed and a felony warrant for a violation

of 46.2-817, Failure to stop for law-enforcement. Those warrants were served on Travis Dooley in the

Magistrates office located inside of the Sheriff’s Office. The Magistrate then conducted a bond hearing on

Travis Dooley for those charges. The Magistrate then released Dooley on his own recognizance. Dooley was

finger printed, however a booking photo was not taken due to a malfunctioning camera. The vehicle he was

driving was towed from the scene. An unknown pill was also located and it is believed that Travis Dooley

constructively possessed the pill. That pill will be sent to the Department of Forensic Sciences lab for testing.

Travis Scott Dooley is employed by the Richmond City Police Department and they were informed of the

arrest. The Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office strives to treat all persons equally, regardless of race, gender,

social stature, or employment status.
