Stafford, Va. – With his family and closest friends surrounding him at his home in Stafford, Mark Dudenhefer accepted his new job as Virginia Delegate to represent the newly shifted 2nd House District in Prince William and Stafford counties.


Residents at a home on Pewter Lane, behind the shopping center on Va. 610 in North Stafford, said they left their home early in the afternoon Sunday. They didn’t turn on any lights before they left, but when they got home just before 10 p.m. lights were on and items like a computer and other electronics, computer games, bottles of alcohol were all missing, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

In addition to missing items, other possessions were strewn about the floor and a bedroom window had been opened, he added.


A woman told police three men were in her neighborhood on Hope Road in Stafford about 1:15 p.m. Saturday and offered to repave her driveway. The woman initially said no but the men then drastically dropped the price of their services and went to work, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

When the woman’s son showed up he began to ask questions, said Kennedy. The men were unable to provide ID or a business card, and when the son asked the men why they were using millings – a cheaper form of gravel – on the driveway they stopped working, said “Merry Christmas,” and fled, said Kennedy.
