PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — On March 25 at 9:25 p.m. police were called to investigate a carjacking.
The victim, a 48-year-old man, reported to police that he left the vehicle running and entered the store. Upon returning to his vehicle, the victim found a strange man inside the car. A struggle ensued resulting in the victim being pushed away and the suspect fleeing in the victim’s vehicle.
While investigating the incident, another officer was dispatched to a residence in the 8000 block of Maplewood Dr. to investigate a single vehicle crash into a home. The investigation revealed the suspect had stolen the vehicle before losing control and crashing into a home.
The driver of the vehicle was ejected from the vehicle and the crash caused a gas leak within the house, and nearby power lines to fall. The suspect was taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening.
During a search of the suspect, police found marijuana. Following the investigation, warrants have been obtained for the suspect, identified as Marlon Bradford Summerville, and will be served upon the suspect’s release from the hospital.

Prince William County’s plans for an indoor sports complex in Woodbridge face a significant shift following this week’s decision by the Board of County Supervisors to allocate $250,000 for a consultant to determine the best use for the site. The 21.85-acre property near I-95 and the state’s most enormous commuter lot, the Horner Road lot, had been the centerpiece of a proposal to build a large indoor recreation facility to attract travel teams and host major events like graduations.
The property, once proposed as the location for a large indoor sports and recreation facility, is now part of a broader development plan. County officials aim to aggregate the land with four adjacent parcels, totaling nearly 50 acres of county- and state-owned land, including existing commuter parking lots. The mission is to transform the area into a community hub that harmonizes living, working, and leisure spaces while generating jobs and tax revenue.
Known colloquially as Prince William Landing, the area was previously considered as a potential site for a new Washington Commanders football stadium alongside another location near Potomac Mills mall. Both sites were discussed as part of efforts to keep the team in Northern Virginia after its lease on FedEx Field expires in 2027. However, those plans did not materialize.
According to county documents, the Department of Economic Development and Tourism, along with the Finance Department and Office of Procurement Services, is leading the effort to attract a strategic real estate partner. The process will follow the Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002 (PPEA) to identify a development partner capable of delivering a project that strengthens the county’s sense of place and meets diverse community needs.
