STAFFORD COUNTY, VA—A Spotsylvania County man, previously employed at Crumbl in Stafford Marketplace, found himself in custody after a break-in gone awry.
The incident occurred on May 24th at approximately 11:16 p.m., leading to the arrest of 25-year-old Damonte Fauntroy.
Responding to a breaking and entering call, Stafford County deputies arrived at the scene to find the suspect had locked himself inside the business’s bathroom.
After a brief standoff, Fauntroy chose to surrender peacefully rather than face K-9 Titan, a well-regarded member of the sheriff’s office known for his efficacy in apprehending suspects.
Upon investigation, Deputy J.A. Albright discovered that Fauntroy had broken into the premises on seven previous occasions this month, primarily targeting the cash register for its contents. During the arrest, deputies found suspected controlled substances in Fauntroy’s pants, which he claimed were not his.
Fauntroy faces multiple charges, including eight counts of breaking and entering, eight counts of petit larceny, two counts of wearing a mask in public, and possession of a controlled substance. He is currently held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond as investigations continue.
