Stephen McQueen, Jr. was arrested Thursday on two felony warrants charging him in connection to a blaze that happened at 12:30 a.m. at home in the 3400 block of Caledonia Circle, off Cotton Mill and Hedges Run drives in Lake Ridge.

Officials could not say if McQueen is the same person listed in Virginia court records as having several pending court cases, including entering a property with the intent to damage and for driving on a revoked license.

A day after a 20-6 slugfest, the ball clubs locked horns in a pitchers’ duel. Trevor Holder shut the Pelicans down for four innings, but Wieland was more than up to the challenge. The Myrtle starter matched zeroes and struck out eight Nats through four.

Myrtle broke through in the fifth; Jared Prince’s one out double was cashed in when Jared Bolden singled to right. Wieland held the Nats in check in the fifth and sixth innings with four more strikeouts to run his total to 13, and Myrtle doubled its lead in the sixth.

The Virginia Department of Transportation is reviewing plans to place welcome signs at key entrances to the county –– on Kings Highway (Va. 3), Warrenton Road (U.S. 17), and both north and south entrances to Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. 1).

The red and blue signs will state “Stafford County: George Washington’s Boyhood Home,” and would depict a colonial-era child –– to evoke thoughts of George Washington as a child –– playing a game.
