STAFFORD COUNTY, VA—Stafford County Sheriff’s Office deputies successfully recovered stolen items and apprehended an intoxicated suspect involved in multiple thefts. The incident occurred late on June 24 when Deputy X.D. Bates encountered a male exhibiting signs of intoxication on a sidewalk in Garrison Woods.
Deputy Bates approached the individual, who was found asleep on the sidewalk, and was soon joined by Deputy P.J. Leon. During their interaction, the 22-year-old suspect admitted to possessing the drug “molly” and was detained for further investigation.
A search of the suspect revealed more than just controlled substances. Deputies found several identifications and credit cards in his bag that belonged to other individuals. Further investigation by Deputy Leon linked the suspect to recent vehicle break-ins in the Sky Terrace area, where wallets had been stolen.
The suspect now faces multiple charges, including public intoxication, possession of controlled substances, eleven counts of credit card theft, four counts of identity theft, two counts of larceny, and two counts of unlawful entry into a vehicle. He is currently held at Rappahannock Regional Jail. The stolen items have been returned to their rightful owners.
