The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect in connection with a driveway repair scam that occurred in early September. Irvin Grady, 61, is wanted for allegedly obtaining money by false pretenses from an elderly woman at her home in the Falmouth area.
On September 9, 2017 at approximately 11:30am, a deputy was dispatched to the home of a 73-year-old woman who said Grady came to her door on September 4, 2017 at approximately 1:00pm and asked if she wanted her driveway resealed. She requested an estimate, and Grady told her he could not give her one because he did not know the cost of materials. She agreed to have the work done.

The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a report of vandalism involving a flag pole that flies a large Confederate flag on private property near Interstate 95 in the Falmouth area.
On Sunday, October 1, 2017 at approximately 4:00pm, Deputy George Motley was called to the property and observed “take it down” and “racist” spray painted on the base of the pole. The rope used to hoist the flag was also damaged and rendered useless. It appears there may have been an attempt to remove the plaque on the pole that reads “Virginia.”

STAFFORD -- Susan Kosler has permission to erect an 80-foot flagpole at her south Stafford home.
Stafford County officials granted permission by issuing her a permit for the flagpole and its base (as seen above).
Then, she'll raise a Black Lives Matter flag atop on the pole. She wants the flag after Stafford County Attorney Charles Shumate declared last week the Board of Supervisors had no authority to demand a private property owner to lower his 80-foot flag pole, easily seen over Interstate 95, flying a Confederate battle flag.

We spoke with Stafford County Transportation Project Manager Alex Owsiak this week, and he told us the new eastbound lanes of Route 610 in North Stafford opened to traffic.
The new lanes carry drivers past Eustace Road and are part of a $13 million project to widen the portion of Route 610 between Eustace and Onville roads.
When complete, Route 610 will be six lanes -- three westbound and three eastbound lanes -- between Eustace and Onville, widening it from four lanes.
