Stafford County Sheriff’s Office

Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: Two firearms were seized from a 19-year-old after an observant citizen noticed him fumbling a firearm in an intoxicated state.

On May 12th at 4:34 a.m. Sergeant J.D. Hurt and Deputy J.R. Suarez responded to Wawa, located at 275 Butler Road, for an intoxicated person. The caller advised the male, who was stumbling around, dropped his firearm on the floor while inside the business. They further advised the suspect attempted to buy tobacco without an ID. When staff refused to sell him the product, he asked to buy controlled substances from them.

A man wanted for assault tried to slip out of the back door.

Stafford sheriff’s deputies went to Popeyes, at 253 Garrisonville Road, around 9 p.m. on May 2 to serve as an arrest warrant stemming from an investigation of a serious assault reported last month on Executive Circle in North Stafford. Identified as George Attakora, aged 21, the suspect was already on the radar in Fredericksburg for other infractions, police said.

The following reports are from the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office:

Stafford County Sheriff is asking for public assistance in investigating an April 12 shooting. Deputies reported to Shasta Place at 10:38 p.m. and learned a red vehicle may have been involved. Several vehicles were shot, but no injuries were reported. The police are asking citizens to review any video cameras that may have captured footage of the incident or a suspicious vehicle.

Stafford County authorities are still looking for a bank robber who simply peddled away.
