A man is in jail without bond after police said he threatened to kill two women and prevented them from calling 911 during a ride near the Wawa on South Gateway Drive. The women flagged down staff for help, leading to his arrest for Simple Assault and Preventing a 911 Call.
Elsewhere in Stafford, a woman parked awkwardly outside the Hartwood Animal Hospital admitted to drinking a bottle of vodka before driving. She was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol content above 0.2 and held on a $2,500 bond.
Two notable Larceny cases were reported: a woman on Thomas Jefferson Place said her ex-boyfriend took two of her vehicles and sent himself money via CashApp; and employees at Pohanka Honda discovered $10,000 missing from a safe. That investigation is ongoing.
In Public Intoxication, a man was found stumbling in a CVS parking lot on Garrisonville Road early Saturday morning and admitted to drinking six beers. He was jailed until sober.
Finally, a Vandalism and trespassing incident at United Transmissions escalated when a man living in an RV slashed a customer’s tire and refused to come out. Deputies used OC spray to subdue him after a struggle. He faces multiple charges and is being held without bond.
