A local attorney's son was arrested and released on scene early this morning for his 3rd (possibly 4th) DWI. Court records show George McKinley Rogers, IV, son of now deceased attorney George McKinley Rogers, III has been given multiple chances over the past 20 years, suspended jail sentences, an ignition interlock (breathalyzer attached to a vehicle's ignition) and most recently was a weekender at the Newport News city jail, all due to his drinking and driving problem.
In 2022, George McKinley Rogers was convicted of DWI and sentenced to weekends at the city jail. His license was restricted to and from work and was ordered to install and use an inigition interlock in his vehicle(s).
It's unclear if this was Mr. Rogers 3nd or possibly 4th offence as he was also convicted in the same city in 1997 for driving under influence which was listed in court records as bing his 2nd offence back in 1997.
Also unclear is his current supervision status which Vinelink reports as still being an active weekender inmate. We are looking into this and will update this page when we receive more details.
