Sobering up must really suck

City police spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe said two officers were in the 1700 block of Stafford Avenue early Sunday about 12:30 a.m. when they saw a young man staggering and drinking from a can of beer.

When they tried to take him into custody for being drunk in public, Bledsoe said, the suspect broke free and hit an officer in her jaw. The man ran as officers called for help.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall of his cell this morning when they tell him why he's in the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
