State Police in Fairfax this morning?

[JoeT]

This morning (745-ish) there were two state police cars on RT 104 near Swanson's and a third seen on its way with lights/sirens - looked kind of serious.
Anyone know anything?

Thanks,
Joe

This chase did begin last night.
There was a car chase on Main Street.

The suspect evaded capture spending the night in someone's garage.
He has broken into homes and stolen clothing.

More to come.

As a parent of an 11 year old over there right now,
I'd like to thank the Administration and Staff at BFA.

Willinreach said 2:15 this morning, I'm safe! My alibi is I haven't seen the clock past 10pm since probably my 20's!

Heard he spent the night in a garage and the homeowner discovered him this morning.
Hadn't heard it was on my street.
