Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

driving while revoked

I was recently charged with driving on a revoked license for dui. However, the officer never actually seen me driving, nor did he ever pull me over. He stopped me when I was walking away from my vehicle and he arrested me. Is this legal?
