A resident found a strange man standing in his kitchen in the middle of the night over the weekend.
According to the Fairfax County Police Department, the incident took place in the 1200 block of Cobble Pond Way, off Hunter Mill Road. At about 3 a.m. Sunday, the homeowner found “an unknown man” in his kitchen. The suspect ran away after he was spotted, and the homeowner chased him while his wife called police.
Responding officers located a “suspicious van” in the area, and discovered it had been reported stolen. Two men who were inside the van were arrested:
- David Pugnettif, 20, of Reston was allegedly the man who had been inside the house. He was charged with burglary, and he also had an outstanding warrant for carrying a concealed weapon.
- John Kyle, 22, of Reston was charged with auto theft and driving on a revoked license.

In Loudoun County, two Herndon residents were charged after a party and fight late Friday night in Sterling. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office says the incident took place at a warehouse in the 45000 block of Maries Road at about midnight. Several people who appeared to be underaged were drinking outside the building, police say, and they fled inside when officers arrived. LCSO was told that people inside were being held against their will. Once the scene was secured, “multiple individuals” were issued summonses for underage possession of alcohol. Several others faced additional charges, including:
- Janey Carballo-Renderos, 20, of Herndon, who was charged with false identification to law enforcement and obstruction of justice.
- Billy W. Quezada, 21, of Herndon, who was charged with public intoxication
In addition, as we reported last week, a Herndon teen was charged by LCSO with felony burglary, misdemeanor sexual assault and misdemeanor simple assault after allegedly assaulting a girl at her Sterling home.
A pizza delivery driver was robbed at gunpoint last week in South Reston, the Fairfax County Police Department says.
According to FCPD, the incident took place at about 9 p.m. Friday in the 11900 block of Travistock Court, which is part of the Deepwood HOA. Police say the deliveryman was robbed by a man who was waiting for him at his car. The suspect allegedly pointed a gun at the driver and demanded his wallet.
The suspect is described by FCPD as being white, around 6 feet tall and about 18 years old. He is said to have medium-length blonde hair. He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, dark sweatpants and a dark backpack at the time of the robbery.
Police say the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information should call 703-691-2131 or 1-866-411-TIPS(8477), or text “TIP187” plus the message to CRIMES(274637).

The Fairfax County Police Department says a teenager was attacked Wednesday evening while walking on Glade Drive.
According to an FCPD report, the incident took place at about 7:30 p.m. in the area of Pinecrest Road:
A 16-year-old boy was walking down the road when three male juveniles approached him and began to yell at him. One of the juveniles hit the victim first and then the other two juveniles began to hit him.
The boy’s iPod was stolen by one of the assailants, who all fled the scene.
That intersection is near the Southgate Community Center, which was the scene of an altercation last weekend that escalated to the point of gunfire. FCPD has provided no indication that the incidents are related.

As reports of burglaries, car break-ins, gunshots and more in Reston have led some residents to believe the community has become more dangerous, its top police officer says that’s not the case.
“I think it’s perception, because I’m not seeing [an increase in crime] statistically,” said Capt. Ronald T. Manzo, commander of FCPD’s Reston District Station, speaking to Reston Now after a community presentation Wednesday in Herndon. “Reston is a safe community. Fairfax County is a safe county.”
Manzo said it is important to keep perspective, as the number of crimes that take place within the Reston District Station is relatively small.
“There could be a 100 percent increase because there was one burglary [in a neighborhood] last year and there’s two this year,” Manzo said.
Police statistics for 2016 that were released earlier this year did show decreases in assaults, burglaries, larcenies, vandalism and vehicle thefts from the previous year. There were, however, big increases in drug and weapon law violations.
Manzo said an uptick in reports of night-time gunshots in areas including South Reston and Lake Anne has been noted by police, and they are serious about investigating and keeping a record of such incidents.
“I still ask for your help — if you hear something that sounds like a gunshot, call,” Manzo said to residents during his presentation. “We need to know.”
An afternoon gunfight near the Southgate Community Center last weekend also raised eyebrows and concern in the community. Manzo said there will be more information released about that incident soon.
The captain said one crime that is on the rise is larcenies from vehicles. While he said in some cases this is the result of brazen or clever criminals, in many it’s as simple as residents neglecting to lock their doors.
“They’re walking up and down, [and] they pull on door handles,” Manzo said. “If you’re not locking your car, they go in there, they go through it.”
Residents can sometimes spot these door-to-door criminals with security cameras, Manzo said, and he encourages anyone who gets such footage to share it with police.
But Manzo said it’s not just the car that’s at risk. If a criminal finds a garage-door opener inside, they have access to the house as well.
“We’re trying to motivate the public to take ownership and lock your doors,” he said. “Don’t leave your GPS up on the windshield, don’t leave valuables in the car. Try to be less of a victim.”
Manzo said he doesn’t believe there is an uptick in home burglaries in the area, though. Rather, he said, he believes their frequency has “plateaued.”
The captain said that as the agency and the media become more thorough about reporting incidents around the community, it can make it seem as though crime is running wild. But he insists that is not the case.
“It’s more of an awareness. We do things like Nextdoor, putting the message out to the community when we have issues and stuff like that,” Manzo said. “Reston is a great community. I love being the commander of Reston and I feel like I’m part of the community.”

Robertson of Herndon — and they say he “resisted arrested and he did not comply with lawful commands from the deputy.” Robertson was charged with assault on law enforcement, obstruction of justice and public intoxication and was released on a personal recognizance bond.
A fight escalated to the point of gunfire Saturday afternoon in South Reston.
According to the Fairfax County Police Department, the incident took place at about 5:45 p.m. in the 2200 block of Stone Wheel Drive.

Police were summoned to a South Reston neighborhood numerous times last weekend for reports of gunshots; however, they say nothing of interest was found.
A reader reported to Reston Now that the Fairfax County Police Department was called multiple times to her neighborhood, on Gunsmith Square, over Labor Day Weekend:
Thursday into Friday at midnight someone very close to my row of townhouses shot a gun twice. We back onto the woods where there are paths. It was unmistakably gunfire (we do get fireworks sometimes but this was not fireworks); I actually got out bed and called the police.
Very early [Monday] morning, approx. 1:15 AM, there were three shots (a little farther off) and 5 minutes later the police helicopter arrived. My husband says he thought the same thing happened Friday into Saturday.
The police have been very responsive every time, but I imagine it would be really difficult to find one person in the woods at night, especially since he probably didn’t stick around.
In response to a request for information, Pfc. Michael Crutchman of FCPD’s Media Relations Bureau confirmed that officers responded to the neighborhood on all those dates. However, he said, nothing credible was found on any visit.
According to Crutchman:
8/31: Officers responded out but did not find anything and the call was just a service call.
9/2: 2 calls for service, both for the same incident. A case was written, and the helicopter responded, but failed to find anything.
9/4: 6 calls for service, the first five were all in relation to one another around 1:50 a.m. Officers reported hearing fireworks in the area. The sixth call occurred around 1:58, and it was closed as unfounded as well.

Police say a Herndon man sprayed a group of middle-schoolers with pepper spray while on the Washington & Old Dominion Trail in Ashburn last week.
According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, 47-year-old Marcos A. Catalan sprayed the kids as he passed by them on a bicycle in the area of Gloucester Parkway at about 4:05 p.m. Thursday:
A group of middle-school aged children were in the area of the Washington and Old Dominion trail. A cyclist approached and reportedly was holding a can in his hand. As the cyclist passed, he sprayed what the juveniles believed to be pepper spray in the direction of several of the children. Deputies located the cyclist in the area of the W & OD trail and Ruritan Circle.
Two girls were taken to a local hospital and treated, according to police. Catalan was charged with two counts of malicious injury by use of caustic substance, along with one count of attempted malicious injury in the same manner.
