Colin R. Herlihy, a 29-year-old professional surfer, has been arrested after crashing into a Delaware State Police car.
Herlihy was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and failed to halt the vehicle at a stop sign. He then left the crash scene, only stopping a few moments later.
The seven-time Delaware State Bodyboarding Champion paid $2,800 and faces up to six months in prison and a driving license suspension.
Nevertheless, Herlihy is innocent until proven guilty.
Colin Herlihy is the founder of the Colin Herlihy School of Progressive Surfing. He also won two mid-Atlantic Bodyboarding titles and placed third in the DK Pipe World Championship in 2001.
Herlihy has many friends and is considered a responsible citizen and a joyful and passionate surfer.
