Top D.C. official facing DUI charge

Published



The procurement boss for the District’s Department of General Services was arrested and charged with drunken driving after police said he was discovered sleeping in a parked car with an open wine bottle on a workday.

Jerry Wayne Lanum, 65, was charged last fall with driving under the influence and operating a vehicle while impaired, according to D.C. court documents. On Friday, a judge dismissed the case when prosecutors were not ready to proceed. The case was refiled Tuesday, and arraignment has been scheduled for Feb. 20, according to Ted Gest, a spokesman with the Attorney General’s Office.
