Fugitive Sheep on the 'Lam' in Virginia Run
Why were a bunch of sheep loose in Virginia Run Friday night?
Some Virginia Run residents had a really baaaaaad night Friday.
At least four sheep, maybe more, somehow got loose in the neighborhood, several Centreville Patch Facebook friends say.

The sheep first made their appearance in the neighborhood around 6 or 7 p.m. Friday night. Fairfax County animal control finally rounded them up sometime around 10 a.m. Saturday. The sheep don't belong to Cox Farms—but farmer Lucas Cox did go out to help animal control round them up, according to Aaron Cox.
I'm not sure yet where they came from, but will update when I find out.
