Chief’s son surrenders driver’s license

Steve North, Dustin Serpas’ attorney, turned in Serpas’ license Thursday to General Sessions Judge Bill Higgins.

Serpas, 26, did not appear in court. The proceeding was supposed to deal with his Oct. 7 charge of DUI and violation of the implied consent law.

Vanderbilt University police arrested Serpas on that date after authorities said they found him passed out in the driver’s seat of his car, with the door open, engine running, headlights on and hands on the steering wheel.

He also was arrested last weekend on an Interstate 440 entrance ramp.

Chief Serpas has said that he has been disappointed and embarrassed by his son’s conduct and that he should be held accountable for his behavior.
