Public Intoxication & Reckless Endangerment of a Child 1-15-18
Abingdon
Police Department
For Immediate
Release
On Monday, January 15, 2018, at
approximately 11:27 AM, Abingdon Police were dispatched to 396 Towne
Centre Drive in reference to a possible intoxicated male inside the store in
the company of a young juvenile. Upon arrival, officers observed the person
checking out at one of the registers. As officers made contact with the man, he
was very lethargic and unsteady on his feet. He was identified as Christopher
Brian Harris, 42, of 18301 Amish Drive, Abingdon, VA. To confirm their
suspicions, officers administered a PBT (Preliminary Breath Test) on Harris, in
which the results were a 0.400 BAC.
Officers placed Harris under arrest for public
intoxication and transported him to the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail.
Another officer remained with the child in an attempt
to determine the relationship of the child to Harris. The mother reported to
the scene to take custody of the juvenile and clarified that Harris and the
child were cousins. After reviewing surveillance video, it was determined that
Harris drove to the store with the juvenile as his passenger.
He was charged with Public Intoxication, in violation
of § 18.2-388 of the Code of Virginia; and Reckless Endangerment of a Child, in
violation of § 18.2-371.1 of the Code of Virginia. Harris is being held without
bond.
