I saw the name of a Stafford County Sheriff’s Deputy, who was shot four times the line of duty earlier this week identified today in the media only through court records.

Thankfully, the deputy is on his way to recovery after a successful surgery.


From Prince William police: 

Murder Investigation *ARREST – On June 8, detectives from the Homicide Unit identified the suspect involved in the murder of Harold Woodrow Hall which occurred at a residence located in the 2100 block of West Longview Dr in Woodbridge on November 20, 2015. The preliminary investigation into the incident alleged that the suspect, identified as Eric Ricardo DICKERSON, fatally stabbed the victim following an altercation between the two parties. Following the encounter, the suspect also stole property from the victim including the victim’s vehicle and credit cards. The suspect and victim are known to one another. On June 9, members of the U.S. Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force located the suspect at his home in Woodbridge where he was arrested without incident.

Here’s what I know. on Tuesday morning, it was discovered that the senior rock at Forest Park High School had been vandalized with racial graffiti. The graffiti was covered with paint, and the school began investigating.

The following day a student and her parent painted over the rock in a white primer base coat, and school colors were to be subsequently painted over that. However, Wednesday night the rock was vandalized again. It was painted over with a metallic gold paint with the word “Better?”
