Washington County sheriff’s deputy waives DUI case to court
A Washington County sheriff’s deputy charged with drunken driving in November waived his right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday before a district judge in Cambria County.
The next court appearance for Paul Rock Jr., 35, of Stockdale, is a formal arraignment April 21 in Ebensburg.
Rock was charged with a first offense of DUI with a blood-alcohol content of 0.10, failure to stop at a red light, disregarding traffic signals, careless driving and other summary offenses.
The legal blood-alcohol limit in Pennsylvania is 0.08. He was arrested by state police from the Ebensburg barracks.
James D’Alessandro, chief deputy sheriff, said Tuesday he was unaware of Rock’s scheduled appearance before District Judge Frederick Creany. “Sorry, I don’t have a comment,” D’Alessandro said. “He remains on the schedule this week as far as I know.”
