From the Stafford sheriff’s office: An early morning burglar was captured in a North Stafford home Saturday, November 13, and released to forage in the wild. Normally this type of crime would result in a felony charge and no bond, but deputies had compassion for the naughty nocturnal nuisance.
Just after 3 a.m., deputies responded to a burglary in progress at a residence off of Novak Drive. Deputies checked the home and found no forced entry. At 3:36 a.m. the Emergency Communications Center received a second call about an opportunistic raccoon inside the home that had been missed during the initial check. Similar to the raccoon character RJ in the animated comedy Over the Hedge, a raccoon entered the home to look for food.
Occupants of a hotel in southern Stafford County were evacuated Saturday after a small fire broke out in a a laundry room.
