NORTH STAFFORD — Someone hanging out at Stafford Marketplace thought he had landed a great job.
In the end, he was taken for a ride. A Stafford sheriff’s office spokeswoman says the victim allowed the suspect to write a check for $2,000 for supplies at a Lowes store at the North Stafford shopping center.
That check bounced, and so did the suspect.
The Stafford sheriff’s office says the crime happened in the 1200 block of Stafford Marketplace on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 12:40 p.m. The victim reports said a man named “Mike” walked up and asked him if he knew of anyone interested in a job.
The victim accepted a job as the suspect’s administrative assistant.
On the first day of the job on Tuesday, December 12, he met the suspect at Lowe’s, and they looked at supplies. The victim agreed to let the suspect cash a check for $2,000, allegedly to buy supplies, under the victim’s account, said Stafford sheriff’s office spokeswoman Amanda Vicinanzo.
After leaving the check cashing store, they returned to Lowe’s, and the suspect vanished.
The victim later learned the check had bounced, prompting him to contact the Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation is ongoing.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
