Commonwealth Attorney Daniel Rutherford reached out to us on Saturday evening March 9, 2024 to let us know in his discussions with the trooper that made the scene, no charges have yet been made as the investigation continues. He was letting us know the official press release version below is inconsistent with the information as he knows it currently.
We have emailed our contacts at VSP in Richmond and will update we we have new information.
