Also in Manassas, a 17-year-old boy was hurt during a strong-arm robbery after arranging to sell clothing through Facebook Marketplace. Police say two young men, described as Black males in their late teens or early 20s, grabbed the item and fled in a vehicle. In a separate case, a 13-year-old student at Parkside Middle School was charged after being found with a knife on campus. Officers said there were no threats made and the knife was not displayed.
In Stafford County, deputies responded to an assault at the 6 Bears & A Goat Oktoberfest after an intoxicated man allegedly attacked a staff member who tried to de-escalate a confrontation. He was jailed on multiple charges. At a Wingstop on Stafford Market Place, a disorderly customer was arrested on stalking and disorderly conduct charges after making repeated unwanted advances toward an employee.
Deputies also handled three DUI arrests on Sept. 13, including one driver who admitted to drug use while behind the wheel and another who had multiple open Modelo beer cans inside his truck. Other cases included a larceny at Walmart involving a repeat shoplifter, and several public intoxication arrests—one involving a man jumping into traffic near PNC Bank who was also found with suspected drugs.
