Press release from the FCPD Daily News Blog:

July 13, 2024

Sully Police District — After a four-hour barricade, a man wanted for soliciting sexual acts from a minor, is in custody.

Yesterday, at 9:55 p.m., officers from our SWAT team attempted to serve search and arrest warrants in the 13800 block of Fount Beattie Court in Centreville. Detectives from our Child Exploitation Unit had received information that the suspect had been soliciting sexual acts from an eleven-year-old child.

Officers initially attempted to have the suspect, Cody Christopher Fynn, 35, of Centreville, exit the residence, but he refused. Officers obtained information that Flynn may have been armed. After Flynn continued to refuse officers’ directions, additional resources from FCPD’s Special Operations Division, Crisis Negotiations Team, and Crisis Response Team responded to assist with the barricade.

Around 2:00 a.m., after four hours of negotiations, officers were able to safely take Flynn into custody. Flynn complained of medical issues and was taken to a local hospital where he was released shortly after.

He was taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and charged with Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Sexual Battery, Production of Child Pornography, and two counts of Solicitation of a Minor. He is being held on no bond.
