Last April we reported that the former dean of the Columbian College, William Frawley, was arrested twice in two days for driving under the influence. Frawley had left GW in 2006 to become president of the University of Mary Washington, a Virginia public school about an hour south of the District. The school’s Board of Visitors fired him soon after the arrests were made public.
Now the Free Lance-Star is reporting that Frawley was arrested again for driving under the influence, this time in Maryland. His arrest there on April 10 is exactly a year to the day after last year’s incident, they reported.
The first case originally received a lot of press attention because Frawley was seen driving recklessly without a front tire, and police followed his vehicle into the driveway of the UMW president’s house. He wrote an account of the incident (and the ensuing coverage) this December in the Washington Post with the headline “I Needed Help, Not Ostracism.”
