Renwick Jackson, President of St. Mary’s College, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated at 2:20 a.m. on the morning of March 26. The arrest came as Dr. Jackson was driving his 1979 Ford through Waldorf, Maryland on the way back from Baltimore. State Trooper C. Mazaika noticed that Dr. Jackson’s vehicle was drifting and pulled him over. After refusing a breathalyzer test, Jackson stated that he did not want to disturb anyone at that hour by calling them and having them pick him up. He was thus incarcerated for the night at Waldorf State Police Barracks. At 8:30 that same morning, Dr. Jackson made his initial court appearance, was informed of the charges and released on his own recognizance. His attorney, Mr. Edward Digges, issued a notice of appearance of March 30th, and a trial date was set for Friday, April 10 at the County Courthouse in La Plata. Dr. Jackson states that he was sleepy, not intoxicated, and plans to plead not guilty at his trial. He has issued the following statement to local newspapers and radio stations: “I had put in an eighteen hour working day on March 25, had attended two meetings in Baltimore, and became very drowsy while driving to St. Mary’s City. I was sleepy, not intoxicated. —J. Renwick Jackson, Jr.” On Friday, April 10, Dr. Jackson was acquitted of the charges filed against him due to a lack of evidence.
