On December 19 at 6:03AM, officers responded to the 16900 block of Old Stage Rd. in Dumfries (22025) to investigate a hit and run. Upon arrival, officers located a 32-year-old man, suffering from injuries sustained during the vehicle crash.
The investigation revealed that while in the above area, the victim observed a physical altercation between a female acquaintance and an unknown man, later
identified as the accused.The victim then picked up the female acquaintance in his vehicle, and as they left, the accused followed them where he struck the victim’s vehicle with his vehicle twice. Following a brief verbal altercation, the accused took the victim’s phone and left with the female acquaintance in the striking car. The victim reported non-life-threatening injuries.
While investigating, officers located the striking vehicle a short distance away and determined both the car and the license plates were previously reported stolen from separate jurisdictions.
Later that day, officers received information on the location of the female acquaintance, and while investigating, she falsely identified herself to officers and was later determined to be actively wanted out of another jurisdiction.
