He didn’t make it very far.
A man who had just been released from the Rappahannock Regional Jail was found a short time later inside of the Rowser Building, at 1739 Jefferson Davis Highway in Stafford, which is home to the county’s parks and recreation department.
The building is about a five-minute walk from jail. Authorities found the man inside the building after a burglar alarm sounded at 2:42 a.m. today, said sheriff’s office spokeswoman Amanda Vicinanzo.
Stafford sheriff’s deputies found the man in a hallway and arrested him. He didn’t put up a fight, said Vicinanzo. Afterward, the man was taken back to the jail from which had just been released.
The suspect first had landed in the clink on Tuesday, April 14, after he was charged with shoplifting some food items from a Fas Mart gas station at 2142 Jefferson Davis Highway, said Vicinanzo. That gas station just happens to be located across the street from the county courthouse, which is about two miles from the jail.
Saed Sayyadi, 36, of Falls Church is being held without bond on charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony.
