At 4:31 p.m. Monday, December 5, 2022, Prince William County Fire and Rescue crewsunits were dispatched to the 1700 block of Varsity Drive in the Marumsco Village neighborhood in Woodbridge for a report of a fire in a single-family house.
Crews were able to quickly extinguish a fire located in the home’s basement. No injuries were reported. The structure sustained moderate damage. Two adults were displaced. The Fire Marshal’s office determined a candle was the ignition source of the fire.
The investigation revealed the victim, a 15-year-old female juvenile, and a family member, identified as the accused, were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated.
During the encounter, the accused retrieved a knife and grazed the victim with the knife before a family intervened and took possession of the knife. The victim and the accused were eventually separated by another family member and the police were contacted.
The officer could move into the front yard before one of the dogs bit the officer in the hip area while the other dog latched onto the officer’s external vest. The officer discharged his department-issued firearm, striking both dogs.
The dogs fled back into the residence, where they remained housed until taken into custody by Animal Control.
