Officer William Moseley Resigns After DUI Arrest

A Roanoke County police officer has resigned after a driving under the influence arrest.

William Moseley, 26, of Roanoke, has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence. Court records show a conviction would be his first DUI offense.

A Roanoke County police spokesperson said Moseley has resigned his position as a patrol officer. He had been on the force for the past four years.

Court records show Moseley blew a 0.14 on a breathalyzer test early on the morning of July 26th, the same date as his arrest.

His arrested officer, a Roanoke City police officer, wrote he watched Moseley cross the center line at least twice early on the morning of July 26th.

The officer wrote he watched Moseley’s truck drift into the wrong lane first on Williamson Road.

The officer went on to write he saw Moseley cross the center line on Liberty Road NE, where he wrote Moseley nearly veered into the path of an oncoming car and almost crashed into a railroad bridge before “braking hard” to avoid it.

The officer wrote he could smell alcohol on Moseley’s breath, saw that he had “glassy eyes,“ and that Moseley flunked for field sobriety tests.

He’s due back in court on October 20th.
