VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- One former governor Bob McDonnell's sons was found guilty Friday of driving under the influence and refusing a breathalyzer.

Robert Ryan McDonnell was arrested after an early morning traffic stop in December of 2014.

His driver's license was also suspended for a year.

McDonnell has appealed the verdict.
