Felony Hit & Run Investigation

The driver, later identified as Timothy Damon RUTHERFORD, reversed and struck an occupied police vehicle before fleeing. No injuries were reported. Two female juveniles fled the scene but were later detained and released to their guardians. Rutherford remains wanted for multiple charges, including felony hit & run, grand larceny, and obstruction of justice.

Trouvaille Brewing Company, a veteran-owned craft brewery in Haymarket, offers federal civilian employees a small token of support during economic uncertainty—one beer for just a penny. The offer, available through March 14, 2025, is open to all current and recently separated federal employees as a way to show appreciation for their service and dedication.
The brewery, which is co-owned by five partners—three of whom work in federal civilian roles and two who are military veterans—understands firsthand the challenges faced by government employees. Trouvaille Brewing’s owners juggle full-time careers while managing the brewery, hosting events, and building relationships with their community. Their deep ties to the area and shared experiences have made them acutely aware of the struggles many local residents face.
