Lara v. Commonwealth

Facts:

When defendant noticed that he was being pursued by a police officer, he accelerated away at a high rate of speed and crossed an intersection where a second police officer began pursuing him. When apprehended, defendant told the second police officer that he attempted to elude the officer because he was driving on a out of state license, which was suspended. Defendant, convicted on charges of reckless driving, driving on a suspended operator's license, and speeding to elude, was later tried in another court on identical charges brought by the second police officer. Defendant sought review before the court after he was convicted on charges of reckless driving, driving on a suspended operator's license, and speeding to elude, and he claimed that his rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause of U.S. Const. amend. V and Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294 were violated when he was again tried in another court on identical charges brought by a different police officer.
