Prince William police today report two instances of assault and battery on law enforcement officers.
Assault & Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer [LEO] | Falsely Summoning Law Enforcement – On November 17 at 3:07PM, officers responded to a residence located in the 14700 block of Birchdale Ave. in Woodbridge (22193) to investigate the report of a domestic-in-progress. Upon arriving at the residence, officers made contact with a 40-year- old male resident and determined there was no active domestic between the caller, identified as the accused, and the resident. While investigating the incident, officers determined a separate incident occurred earlier in the day where the accused struck the male resident. When officers attempted to take her into custody, the accused actively resisted and refused to follow officer’s commands. Officers quickly secured the accused and as they were escorting her to the police vehicle she kneed an officer. The accused was resecured, and no injuries were reported. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Pamela Lynn GOSS, was arrested.
Detectives have charged 24-year-old Desmond Malcolm Daniel, 24, of 2900 Shumard Oak Drive, #201, in Woodbridge, in connection to a double murder that occurred at a residence in the 17400 block of Isle Royale Terrace near Dumfries on Wednesday, November 16.
The suspect was subsequently located by Virginia State Police and Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police in a parking lot at Dulles International Airport, where he was detained without incident.
