Stafford sheriff’s office: “An Ohio man who thought he could outrun the police in North Stafford last night ended up just as disappointed as Dallas Cowboys fans this morning. On January 14th at 10:32 p.m. Deputy J.W. Ahern attempted to stop a Toyota Sequoia on westbound Garrisonville Road near Eustace Road for not having any rear lights. Instead of stopping for the minor traffic violation, the driver conducted a U-turn and accelerated eastbound on Garrisonville Road, initiating a pursuit.”
“The suspect sped up to 85 mph before turning left onto Center Street and then right onto Barrett Heights Road. Deputy Ahern provided updates to other deputies in the area as the suspect sped up to nearly 80 mph and turned right onto Onville Road toward Garrisonville Road.”

Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “Two Stafford teenagers are lucky to be alive after a serious DUI crash Thursday morning.”
“On January 10th at approximately 2:30 a.m. Sergeant M.E. Gordon, Deputy D.S. Jett, and Deputy M.A. Holub responded to the area of Plantation Drive and Newcastle Place for an auto accident. Communication Officers received a crash notification before a female called in advising everything was “all good” and the crash was minor. When deputies arrived, they discovered just the opposite, a vehicle was overturned in a ditch. Luckily, all occupants were able to exit the vehicle with only minor injuries.”
Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “On January 11th at approximately 12:34 p.m. Deputy J.A. Brooks responded to Walmart, located at 11 Village Parkway, for a report of a larceny.”
“Staff advised two suspects walked out of the store with multiple electronic devices. During their not so great escape, the suspect vehicle Hulk-smashed into another customer’s vehicle. Luckily, staff was able to provide a great description of the suspect vehicle and its license plate. Using the superpower of technology, Deputy Brooks used his radio to broadcast the suspect vehicle’s description to nearby units.”

“Scams like these play on the victim’s emotions and demand they be quick or face legal action. As a reminder, no law enforcement agency, including the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office, will demand money over the phone. We also do not accept Bitcoin as any kind of payment in any matters. If you are ever unsure about the sincerity of a call from someone posing as a deputy, hang up and call us directly. We will be able to properly inform you if you are wanted.”
Stafford County Sheriff’s Department:“On January 2 at approximately 7:58 a.m. Communications Officers received a call from someone advising they had just been stabbed. Due to the nature of the call, deputies quickly responded to the Shelton Knolls Subdivision. When deputies arrived, they observed two males holding another down. Deputies took over the scene by detaining the suspect, providing first aid to the victim, and uncovering what occurred.”
“It was discovered the suspect, Randull Washington Jr., was upset due to a family matter and began making threats. An argument escalated into a fight between Washington Jr. and another family member. The victim attempted to intervene in the altercation when Washington Jr. stabbed him in the back of the neck. Both the family member and victim were able to disarm Washington Jr. and hold him down until deputies arrived.”
“Park Ridge Subdivision, 1/3, 12:03 a.m. Deputy P.J. Leon responded to a disturbance. A neighbor advised he believed a juvenile party was occurring.

Criminal complaints for unlawful possession of alcohol and underage possession of marijuana were filed for the juvenile hosting the party at his residence. The other 12 party goers were turned over to a responsible guardian.”
