Spotsylvania County, VA – A 74-year-old man from Caroline County was charged in a felony hit-and-run over the Labor Day weekend, one of several arrests in Spotsylvania that underscored a busy holiday period for law enforcement.
According to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, deputies obtained a felony warrant Saturday after the man allegedly fled the scene of a crash in the area of Mudd Tavern Road and Patriot Highway. No injuries were immediately reported, but the case marked one of the more serious incidents handled during the long weekend.
Authorities said deputies made dozens of arrests between Friday and Monday, many tied to impaired driving and domestic-related incidents. A 20-year-old Spotsylvania resident was arrested Friday for driving under the influence in the 8000 block of Camp Town Road, while several others faced charges of reckless driving, driving without a license, or possession of narcotics.
Domestic assault remained another recurring issue. Deputies reported multiple arrests and warrants over the weekend involving alleged domestic battery, violations of protective orders, and related offenses. In one case, a 26-year-old suspect was charged with both domestic assault and abduction in the 8900 block of Courthouse Road.
Warrants also played a large role in the weekend activity. Several suspects were taken into custody on outstanding charges from neighboring jurisdictions, including probation violations, stalking, and drug possession. Deputies said one 23-year-old suspect faced capias warrants in both Henrico and Spotsylvania counties.
The sheriff’s office said the arrests reflect a typical uptick in calls during holiday weekends, when travel, alcohol use, and family gatherings often increase law enforcement activity.
