Awakened
in the night
To the Editor:
On Monday, Feb. 3, I was awakened at 3:15 a.m. by my dog barking furiously, alarmed children, and scared wife, all of this from a car driving around the property and shining a spotlight all over the property and in the windows of my house.
As I was getting dressed to see what was going on and to get outside to stop this, I saw the car leaving the drive; this was a Rappahannock County deputy’s car.
I then called the Sheriffs Office to find out what was going on. I asked the dispatcher, and she said, “I guess she was looking for something.”
I asked, “What is she looking for at 3:15 in the morning?” She replied, “I don’t know, you can call the sheriff in the morning.”
Don’t I have the right to know what this car was doing on the property, shining its spotlight around the outbuildings, vehicles', and driving up to the next house, alarming a 70year-old widow?
I called Sheriff Woodward the same morning, he said, “There had been a breaking and entering in Fauquier County and they were looking for a blue truck.” And since I once was employed by the company [that was broken into] I was a suspect and Fauquier had asked them to check to see if my truck was there and get a tag number.
I then called Fauquier County and they were, needless to say, very surprised that it had been at least 10 years since I had worked for this company and apologized for the inconvenience. They were also very concerned for the way this was handled in Rappahannock.
