MANASSAS — It’s not the first time Mohaned Zyoud has been in trouble with the law, court records show.
He’s now charged with attempted malicious wounding after police said he towed a car from the 15600 block of Jefferson Davis Highway, near Koons Automotive, at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 18.
Inside the car were a woman, three children, and a dog. As Zyoud, a driver for A & A Towing Services was pulling away with the car in tow, a man ran toward his truck and caught up with him, pleading with him to stop. The man stood in front of the truck trying to get the truck to stop and was struck, but wasn’t injured, police said.
The truck stopped, and the man opened the driver’s side door, and that’s when Zyoud punched the 25-year-old man in the face, according to police.
He’s due in court on this latest charge on September 19.
Last year, Zyoud, 23, was found guilty after he used his tow truck to crush the foot of a woman whose car he was towing from a Lake Ridge neighborhood.
Court documents show Zyoud pulled his tow truck up to a house on Misty Lane at 11:03 p.m. on July 2, 2017. The victim’s car had a visitor parking pass that had expired, so Zyoud backed his truck up to the car and hooked it up, according to a police report.
In the process, Zyoud ran over woman’s foot. The woman now screaming in pain, the victim’s son got the Zyoud to stop his truck for a moment to tell him he had run over his mother’s foot, according to court records.
Zyoud stopped and then said he didn’t see any blood coming from the victim’s foot, and then sped off, according to a police report contained in the case file.
Also inside the case file — a photo the woman’s bruised foot.
Zyoud was found guilty on July 16, 2018, of reckless endangerment. Of the $507 he was fined by the court, a total of $354 of it was ordered to be paid to the victim as restitution.
Zyoud was sentenced to 30 days of jail time but served none of it.
Court records show Zyoud is a founder of the towing company A & A Towing. No one answered calls placed to the phone number on file for the business.

The Manassas City Council voted to extend a lucrative tax incentive for Micron Technology Inc. through 2035, solidifying the semiconductor company’s continued presence in the city. The deal, passed during the February 10, 2025, council meeting, ensures Micron’s annual tax payments increase by 4% while maintaining a lower tax rate than other manufacturers.
However, the decision has raised questions about a potential conflict of interest involving Mayor Michelle Davis-Younger. Multiple sources have indicated that Davis-Younger is in a relationship with Delbert Parks, Vice President and Site Director at Micron’s Manassas facility.
Parks is named in an official letter from the mayor, dated the same day as the vote, outlining the incentives offered to Micron. During the meeting, Vice Mayor Mark Wolfe alluded to the relationship, stating that “some of the comments floating around online are BS,” referring to speculation that the mayor’s ties to Parks influenced the tax break discussions.
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors has approved a 24-acre rezoning for a new data center development along Wellington Road, despite opposition from Supervisor Bob Weir and concerns about its proximity to Unity Reed High School.
On February 4, 2025, the board approved Rezoning #REZ2024-00042, NVA05C, changing the property’s zoning from agricultural and business districts to Planned Business District (PBD) to accommodate a data center. The site, located 700 feet southwest of Freedom Center Boulevard and Wellington Road, is part of Innovation Park, an area designated for high-tech development.
The rezoning application was submitted by STACK Infrastructure, which operates data centers in multiple locations across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Some key Northern Virginia locations include: Manassas, Ashburn, and Leesburg.
Fredericksburg is taking another step forward to become a more walkable community with the recent start of construction off LaFayette Boulevard, which is part of the city’s Twin Lake Drive and Kensington Pedestrian Connector project.
This $2.4 million project includes extending a 10-foot wide paved shared-use path along the north side of Lafayette Boulevard between Twin Lake Drive and St. Paul Street in the City of Fredericksburg. The path will be accessible, with ramps and crosswalks built where the route intersects with Twin Lakes Drive, Springwood Drive, Kensington Place, and St. Paul Street.
The project includes a paved access point to the Virginia Central Railway Trail from the cul-de-sac of Springwood Drive, and a bike repair station will be installed at Alum Spring Park.
The process Fredericksburg City Council is following to fill the vacant Ward 3 seat could conflict with state code—especially with a provision added last year that states that governing bodies must publicly announce the names of those being considered to fill a vacant seat at least seven days before the appointment is made.
