STAFFORD — A woman who last week was allegedly found naked in a daycare and then arrested is also now charged in a separate incident that occurred inside a gas station bathroom.
A woman was arrested on Friday by deputies with the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office after assaulting a man while in a bathroom stall at Wawa.
A series of disabled cars on Interstate 95 north in Stafford County led to a temporary closure of the highway on Thursday, said Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Brent Coffey.
The Virginia Department of Transportation reported the crash about 5:43 p.m. The saving grace — the temporary closure was of the northbound lanes, which didn’t affect drivers commuting south and heading home from work.
