The investigation revealed the victim, a 15-year-old female juvenile, and a family member, identified as the accused, were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated.
During the encounter, the accused retrieved a knife and grazed the victim with the knife before a family intervened and took possession of the knife. The victim and the accused were eventually separated by another family member and the police were contacted.
The investigation revealed an unknown man entered the store and walked behind the service counter before brandishing a machete-style knife toward an employee.
The suspect then grabbed numerous boxes of tobacco products from the shelves and fled the store on foot. A police K-9 searched the area.
The officer could move into the front yard before one of the dogs bit the officer in the hip area while the other dog latched onto the officer’s external vest. The officer discharged his department-issued firearm, striking both dogs.
The dogs fled back into the residence, where they remained housed until taken into custody by Animal Control.

Three pedestrians and a motorcyclist were among the 14 individuals who lost their lives on Virginia highways over the 2022 Thanksgiving weekend, according to preliminary data. Of the 10 individuals riding in vehicles equipped with seatbelts, eight chose not to wear one.
“Not sure how many times we can say this until folks start paying attention, but ‘Seatbelts save lives,'” said Colonel Gary T. Settle, Virginia State Police Superintendent. “We are now heading into the 2022 holiday season with 14 families grieving the loss of their loved ones due to these Thanksgiving holiday traffic crashes. For eight of those 14, the simple act of buckling up may well have prevented such tragic outcomes. Please buckle up every one in your vehicle every time and on every ride.”
