Updated October 21, 2022 — The Prince William County Police Department says Justin Allen Tothill, 34, is safe.
The department reported Tothill went missing near his home on Old Dominion Hunt Drive near Manassas on Wednesday, October 19, at 4:30 p.m. He is believed to be missing under voluntary circumstances and may need assistance which qualified him as being endangered, police said.
The event is timed with Halloween and comes as the holiday season approaches, historically the most challenging time for those in need to put food on the table. Rising inflation drove up food prices by more than 10% in the past year, and nearly half of area households with children experienced some food of food insecurity last year.
The non-profit, founded in 2020, works to provide food for the hungry in our area by working with restaurants and grocery stores to pick up unused food and deliver it to those in need. Last year, the food rescue provided 13.4 million meals to the hungry.

Philip Sowers told Potomac Local News he and his wife commute in their Buick SUV to work at an office on Fairfax County Parkway. They decided to use the new E-ZPass lanes when the first segment of the tolled lanes opened late last month, from Haymarket to Route 29 in Fairfax.
The only catch: the Sowers’ SUV had a luggage rack on top, making the vehicle over seven feet tall. The automated toll booths mistakenly took it for a small commercial vehicle and charged Sowers three times the regular toll rate.
