Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Eric Hylton, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation’s Washington, D.C., Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by United States District Judge T.S. Ellis, III. Fournier was pleaded on Oct. 21, 2011.

“Mr. Fournier was using the federal government as a line of credit, and today his bill came due,” said U.S. Attorney MacBride. “This case and the many others we have brought should serve as a warning to other small businesses that cheating the government is not a good business strategy.”

Kevin English was always good for a news tip. After he found PotomacLocal.com, he would send me story ideas that would often have to do with Dumfries. In some cases he probably knew more about what was happening inside of Town Hall than some who actually work there. It shouldn’t come as a surprise because he served on the Town Council and ran for mayor.

English passed away Sunday at age 57, and all this week has been remembered as someone who cared deeply about his community. I always appreciated his willingness to reach out and to be open and honest about what he thought.


Stafford, Va. The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is requesting the public’s assistance in helping to identify a subject involved in a suspicious activity in the Amy Clae subdivision in Stafford County.

On Friday, January 13, 2012 at approximately 8:00am, a 10 year old female was outside her residence on Nugent Drive in the Amy Clae subdivision when a male subject, sitting in an older, white van, called out to the juvenile stating “come over here, I won’t hurt you”. The 10 year old did not comply with the subject’s request and ran back into the house.
