VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A Virginia Beach police officer, previously placed on administrative duty, has been found guilty of driving while intoxicated after he was arrested back in July 2021.

Police said on July 27 that 4th Precinct Master Police officer Jeremy Abrecht was stopped in the 900 block of Independence Boulevard around 1:37 a.m. on July 10 for “excessive speed.”

The on-duty VBPD officers who stopped him charged him with driving under the influence.

Abrecht had been with the department since 2011. He was put on administrative duty pending court adjudication.

After the case was finalized in court, the police said the VBPD Internal Affairs Bureau would conduct its administrative review. On nov. 12, police said there are no updates in the case “as there are still legal and administrative processes that have not concluded.”

“A determination will be made once the finalization of all components of this case are complete,” a department spokeswoman said.

As of April, Abrecht was a school resource officer with the department, according to a VBPD tweet posted in April.

Abrect received a 360-day suspended sentence, as well as 12 months of supervised probation. He also had a 12-month suspended license.
