Good morning Prince William – Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 29th to volunteer with the Boy Scouts for a super fun event at Camp William B. Snyder in Haymarket. Volunteers will be asked to pretend they are survivors and victims of an airplane crash and a school bus crash so the scouts can practice their first aid skills. This is the ultimate get dirty, act out and even sacrifice your old clothes if you let the kids cut your pants or shirts to expose the pretend injury. Don’t worry- these kids are well trained! And you’ll be part of a huge volunteer effort.

From Prince William police:
Sexual Assault Investigation *ARREST – On October 6, detectives from the Special Victims Bureau and Street Crimes Unit conducted an operation at the Wyndham Garden Hotel located at 10800 Vandor Ln in Manassas (20109) in connection to a recent sexual assault which occurred in September of 2016. During the operation, a man, later identified as the accused, entered the target room reserved by police and attempted to approach the bed where a decoy was in place. Detectives immediately took the accused into custody without incident. During the subsequent investigation, detectives were able to link the accused to the recent sexual assault at the hotel from September and a similar incident from October of 2015 at the same location. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Brandon Charles MURDOCK, was arrested. Additional charges are pending.
Police identified the victim in Saturday night’s shooting as Jose Moises Garcia Flores, 40, of Woodbridge.

**CORRECTION**
Please see the below correction regarding the investigative update which was released on October 7. The surveillance images which were provided were from the armed robbery that occurred at the Ramada Inn in Triangle, not the Quality Inn as previously stated. Both robberies occurred during the early hours of September 27 and the same suspects are believed to be responsible for both incidents. Additional footage is expected to be released in the coming week. We apologize for the error. Further information regarding the Ramada Inn robbery investigation is provided below.
