Pfc. Gerard Sullivan of the Sully District Station earned the Officer of the Quarter award for a rescue that took place over the winter.
The 5-year-old Centreville girl had run away from her grandmother while taking a walk on a trail near their home. A police helicopter flew overhead as the Fairfax County officers searched for the little girl on the cold winter day in the early months of 2012. Pfc. Gerard Sullivan, an officer at the Sully District Station, started thinking about where he'd go if he was five years old, and decided to take a look underneath a bridge on Lee Highway. The little girl was there, standing waist-deep in freezing, fast-moving water. Sullivan quickly went into the creek, scooped up the little girl and brought her back to her family. The rescue was among the reasons that the Sully District Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) recently named Sullivan …

Parents, youth talk about the tragedy that tore through the community a few years ago.
Taylor Gibson knew she was in trouble the night she crashed her mom's car on the way home from Washington, D.C. How, she wondered, could she explain to her parents why she had stolen the car and driven from Centreville into the city? As she sat, one idea after another running through her head, the answer came to her: just tell the truth. "I eventually decided that the best way to distract them from the fact that I had stolen their car and crashed it was to tell them that I was a heroin addict and I needed help," said Gibson, "and that’s why I stole the car. I intended to seek help and detox so I wasn’t physically dependant on heroin anymore." Despite her decision to go to rehab that night three years ago, Gibson wasn't ready to completely…

Kyle Guthrie speaks publicly for the first time about the night that Dennis Ray Ross Jr. died.
Late night on July 19, 2009, five Westfield High School grads drove through South Riding, drinking alcohol and tossing fireworks from the back of a pickup truck. A bad choice, to say the least. But no one planned for the hell that followed what was supposed to be a night of fun and mayhem. Kyle Guthrie, 19 at the time, tossed a lit firework which landed in the back of the truck bed. Nineteen year-old Dennis Ray Ross Jr. panicked when he saw it, jumped out of the vehicle and hit his head on the road. Ross died that night. And the consequences for Guthrie, the only teen out of the five to be charged in Ross' death, will stay with him for far longer than the five days he served in jail. Guthrie and his mother Jan spoke in public for the first…

By sharing her son's story, Karla Rupp hopes to get the message out to local teens and parents.
What can happen in an hour? That's what Karla Rupp thought when she dropped off her son Bo at a concert last September, an hour before it started. But what happened in an hour cost Bo his life. "Bo didn't know what could happen in an hour," Rupp said. "Dying wasn't part of the plan." Rupp spoke for the first time publicly this week about the circumstances leading up to her son's death at a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting. Bo Rupp, then 15 and a sophomore at Westfield High School, made headlines back in September when he apparently ran in and out of traffic near his Virginia Run home on Pleasant Valley Road in Centreville, then sat down in the middle of the roadway and was struck by a neighbor's car. He died the next day. Karla …
