As he does every year, Santa Claus will be coming to Occoquan this weekend by boat. Join us at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, December 3, as Santa arrives at the town dock behind Mamie Davis Park.
From there, he will lead a procession up Mill Street to River Mill Park, where he will visit with families from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you cannot make it Saturday, Santa will be back in River Mill Park again on Sunday, December 4, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
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.

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.”
