Crime

Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “Three suspects may be too young to remember Eddie Rabbit’s 1980 hit ‘I Love a Rainy Night,’ but they are certainly not loving the aftermath of a pursuit during a rainy night this weekend.”

“They could try to ‘Blame It on the Rain,’ but the driver’s poor decision-making led to his arrest at the conclusion of the chase. On July 15th at 9:30 p.m., Deputy C.R. Newman observed a southbound black Toyota Corolla traveling 53 mph in the posted 35 mph zone of the 2000 block of Richmond Highway.”

Stafford Sheriff’s office: “On July 6th, deputies responded to a sexual assault complaint involving a 10-year-old victim. Detective B.E. Abramaitys was assigned the investigation and began conducting interviews and obtaining search warrants. Felony arrest warrants were obtained for three counts of rape, three counts of forcible sodomy, three counts of aggravated sexual battery, and three counts of sexual abuse.”

“On July 7th a Deputy U.S. Marshal discovered that the suspect had fled the country. The deputy worked with Customs and Border Protection to identify the flight the suspect was on. Authorities determined the suspect was on a plane to Peru and were able to arrange for Peruvian law enforcement to be waiting as the suspect exited the plane and take him into custody.”

Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “On July 8th at 2:16 a.m. Sergeant K.P. Lytle was assisting another deputy with a DUI investigation at the divergent diamond of Courthouse Road when he observed a Chevy Cruz turn westbound into the eastbound lanes. Sgt. Lytle ran back to his patrol car and conducted a traffic stop on the wayward driver near the I-95 South off-ramp.”

“The driver was identified as a 42-year-old male from Stafford and had slurred speech and glassy eyes. There was also the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the Chevy. Sgt. Lytle obtained the suspect’s information and returned to his patrol car to await his back-up unit, Deputy R.T. Philippsen.”
