Fugitive Assaults Cops During Escape Attempt In Stafford: SCSO

STAFFORD, VA—A fugitive was arrested Sunday night, April 28, after twice giving police phony identification and then assaulting officers while trying to run away near Anne E. Moncure Elementary School at 75 Moncure Lane, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office.

Prentice Juggins, 27, of Stafford, was charged with assault and battery on a law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, identify fraud, false identify to law enforcement, trespassing on school property and possession of marijuana. He also was served outstanding warrants out of Stafford County that included probation violation, failure to appear, destruction of property, domestic assault and battery and attempted breaking and entering.

Around 7 p.m., police spotted a suspicious vehicle in a gravel area adjacent to the school. Inside were a female driver, a male passenger—Juggins—and three children in the backseat. An officer told the driver, Holly Bright, 26, of Stafford, that they were on school property and thus trespassing. He also smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle.

The officer then asked the adults for ID. Juggins provided a social security number that came back belonging to a dead person. So he provided a second social security number, and that one came back belonging to a female.

Juggins was asked to get out of the vehicle but after he did, he tried to push past police and run. Officers managed to restrain him, but he continued to resist arrest until being subdued. Two officers suffered minor injuries.

Juggins was taken to jail and held without bond. The driver, Bright, was served a warrant for driving while suspended.
