It was just after midnight on July 21, and a man walked into the convenience store located in Stafford. Based on his behavior, the employees believed he had been drinking. He tried to buy alcohol, but he was told that it was too late for them to sell it. He reportedly became agitated, and before leaving the store he allegedly pulled out a handgun and swung it around.
After he took off, the authorities were notified, and deputies with the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office went to the store. The person they believed was the suspect was quickly found traveling in a car with a passenger. A traffic stop was performed, and the driver and passenger were identified as two 30-year-old men from the local area. When the vehicle was searched, the deputies reportedly found a mostly empty bottle of tequila and two guns.
