Haymarket police chief re-suspended, council overrides mayor’s veto —If you’re keeping score at home, Haymarket Police Chief James E. Roop is back OFF the job, along with his deputy chief, Gregory A. Breeden, and Officer Jacob T. Davis, after all three were suspended last Monday night, then un-suspended on Thursday afternoon by Mayor David Leake. On Friday night, the town council overrode the mayor’s veto and re-suspended Roop, Breeden and Davis. So once again, the town of about 1,900 residents is left with three officers to stem the tide of crime in western Prince William County, at least for the next 60 days. [Washington Post]

Two homes in the Sky Terrace subdivision in North Stafford were damaged overnight in a fire.
The blaze broke out at 2:52 a.m. at a home on Frazier Drive. The first fire crews on the scene saw flames on the first and second floors of the 2-story home. After everyone was evacuated, fire crews went inside to douse the blaze and brought it under control within 10 minutes, said Stafford fire and rescue Assistant Chief Mark Doyle.
Three teenagers are accused of breaking into a neighbor’s home and stealing several items. It took some work by police, and the mother of one suspect, to find out who was behind the break in, police said.

· Good morning Prince William – I have a very special request for volunteer drivers on Saturday mornings to give a lift to gentlemen living in and around the Winter Shelter in Woodbridge. It’s as simple as picking up 2 or 3 individuals and taking them to the Laundromat for 2 hours and giving them a ride back to the shelter with their clean clothes. This is a super easy, quick volunteer project. Please call Juan at (703) 583-7440 for more info. It’s just a little far and a lot cold for these gentlemen to walk there!
