Stafford County Incidents
Cara Drive, Woodbridge (March 7, 10:14 p.m.) – A masked man with a firearm approached a 30-year-old man in his car. The victim attempted to drive away while the suspect entered an Audi A4 and tried to prevent his escape. The two vehicles collided before the victim was able to flee. The Audi was later found abandoned in Fairfax.
The incident began when an off-duty FBI agent confronted a motorcyclist accused of reckless driving in the residential neighborhood. The motorcyclist fled but later returned with family members, leading to a traffic stop initiated by Stafford County deputies. The situation escalated when the motorcyclist’s family allegedly refused to comply with deputies’ commands, resulting in a physical confrontation.
Chamberlain, a resident, witnessed the struggle and ran from his yard to aid law enforcement. During the altercation, the off-duty FBI agent discharged his firearm, striking Chamberlain in the chest. Despite immediate life-saving efforts by deputies and Stafford County Fire and Rescue personnel, Chamberlain died at the hospital later that night.
