This is the second year that the Petersburg Sheriff's Office has worked with students who are in Driver Education to provide information to keep them and others safe on the road. It is a two day session with the first day providing a classroom session with videos and sharing information on how drinking and driving and texting and driving could drastically change your life in a split second with one of my deputies sharing a personal experience of how she lost her husband as a result of a drunk driver. The second day actually gives them hands on experience in a Golf Cart that has been modified with seat belts, signal lights, rear view mirrors, headlights, etc. They are given goggles that distort their vision at various strengths based on the number of drinks that have been consumed and also given a cell phone to show them the consequences of texting and driving. We set up an obstacle course with orange cones and give them the opportunity to actually experience what it is like to drink and drive and text and drive by maneuvering through the obstacle course. The above picture shows Sheriffs' Office deputies guiding the students through the course.

CHESTERFIELD - The Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program needs help from the public to identify and locate a suspect in a larceny case.

Around noon on Thursday, May 16, a woman was shopping at Jo-Ann Fabrics in the Westchester Commons Shopping Center. As she was checking out, she took her purple iPad out of her purse to get to her wallet. Unfortunately, she placed a sales ad on top of the iPad, and, because it was covered, she walked out of the store without it. Soon after, she realized what she had done and went back into the store to find it, but it was nowhere to be found.

Surveillance footage later revealed that a different woman used the cart the victim had been using. This woman walked around the store, then left without purchasing anything and walked out with the iPad. She was a heavyset white female, appearing to be in her 40s or 50s. She wore a blue sundress and had her hair pulled back in a bun. Pictures of the suspect can be seen on the Crime of the Week page at www.crimesolvers.net.

If you have information about any unsolved crime in, or fugitive wanted by, Chesterfield County or the city of Colonial Heights, call Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.
