Last night, at about 9:30 p.m., a suicidal call brought emergency units to the area of Deepford and Oakwood in Lake Ridge. A helicopter circled overhead with searchlights on for about half an hour and police closed the road.
"It was a call of a suicidal subject. That's all we are going to say at the moment," PWC Police Officer Jonathan Perok told Patch at 10 p.m. last night. When Lake Ridge Patch spoke with him at 8 a.m. this morning, he said he could not release any more information at this time.
According to the police scanner, a body was found near the Occoquan Reservoir. It is unknown whether that discovery is related to the suicidal call.
Check back with Patch for more updates as this story develops.

My husband and I were canoeing on the Occoquan River near the Forest Hill marina yesterday from 7:20 p.m. until 8:45 p.m. I was shooting a Viewfinder gallery for Patch. We didn't notice anything peculiar at the time. This is terrible news.

I so appreciate Rich Anderson's presence on this committee. My biggest question is why didn't anyone…Read More have a plan for jobs to take effect if these cuts happened. Did anyone calculate the expense to the economy that would occur from Sequestration or plan to offset that expense?

Stopped by for lunch yesterday and had the turkey-avocado BLT with sweet tea and fries -- delicious.…Read More Dave and Eric, the new managers, are good, hardworking guys who I wish all the best in their new venture.
As Earnie said, Dave and Sarah have developed a diverse and interesting menu, with some pleasant surprise offerings, the prices are reasonable and they're going to be open seven days a week for breakfast to dinner, something many other Occoquan restaurants don't do. Give them a try, and tell them Chuck the Foodie sent you.
