Felony Child Neglect – On February 18 at 7:48 a.m., officers responded to The Crossings at Summerland Apartments located in the 13700 block of Keelingwood Circle in Woodbridge to investigate a domestic.
When officers arrived at the apartment, no contact was made with the occupants inside. Officers observed damage to the front door and made entry into the apartment where they located the caller, a 29-year-old woman, and four children, all under the age of 8. During the investigation, officers observed multiple unsecured firearms inside the room where the woman and the children were located.
While serving a search warrant at the residence, officers located a total of four unsecured firearms inside the apartment, including a sawed off shotgun and three handguns, along with suspected illegal narcotics.
