Orbinger

North Stafford, Va. — A woman said a pickup driver pulled a gun on her and now two men face charges.

The victim was in the left turn lane of Highpoint Boulevard at Mine Road in North Stafford when a white pickup pulled up beside her. The driver of truck glared at the victim, brandished a gun and then pointed it at her, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

The woman then heard a thump in from the back of her car later saw that her rear quarter panel had been shot at with a paintball gun, said Kennedy. The woman went home and called 911 to report what had happened, and a deputy was dispatched to the area of Va. 610 where he found a truck matching the description of the one the woman saw earlier.

The deputy examined the driver’s side of the truck and found similar paint matching what had been found on the victim’s car. The woman also identified the driver of the stopped truck as the man who was glaring at her and he and the passenger of the truck were arrested, said Kennedy.

Raymond Orbinger, 19, of Pinnacle Drive in Stafford, is the owner of the truck and was driving at the time of the incident, said Kennedy. He’s charged with throwing a missile at a moving vehicle and with brandishing, said Kennedy.

The passenger in the truck, 20-year-old Austin Peace of Woodbridge, also faces charges in the case, said Kennedy.
