From Prince William police:
Attempted Malicious Wounding – On July 18 at 9:00PM, officers responded to the 15600 block of Jefferson Davis Hwy in Woodbridge (22191) to investigate a disorderly involving a tow truck. The investigation revealed that the accused, a tow truck driver for A&A Towing, responded to the area to repossess a vehicle which was seen parked at a nearby business.
When the accused located the vehicle, he hooked his tow truck to the vehicle, which was occupied by an adult female, two children, and a dog. The owner of the vehicle, who was inside of a nearby business, saw what was happening and ran to stand in front of the truck.
During the encounter, the tow truck struck the 25-year-old man causing no injuries. When the man attempted to open the driver’s side door of the tow truck, the accused punched him in the face. The accused eventually unhooked the vehicle and fled the area before being located a short time later by responding officers. No injuries were reported. Following the investigation, the accused, identified as Mohaned ZYOUD, was arrested.

(AP) — Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow Sunday and predicted six more weeks of wintry weather, his top-hatted handlers announced to a raucus, record-sized crowd at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania.
Phil was welcomed with chants of “Phil, Phil, Phil,” and pulled from a hatch on his tree stump shortly after sunrise before a member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club read from a scroll in which he boasted: “Only I know — you can’t trust A.I.”
At approximately 2:45 P.M. on Saturday, February 1st, units with Stafford County Fire and Rescue (SCFR) responded to a reported structure fire in the 100 block of Aquia Creek Road, near Aquia Creek. Callers reported a neighboring residence on fire, and first arriving units marked the scene less than 10 minutes later and confirmed fire and smoke coming from the rear and roof of a single-family residence.
Due to a lack of hydrants in the area, crews had to utilize rural water operations to shuttle water to the scene. Crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire and bring it under control in approximately an hour, despite the roof collapsing.
The residence was not occupied at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. The fire is under routine investigation by the Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office. SCFR units were assisted on scene by Quantico Fire and Emergency Services.
