Incidents

A civil rights complaint was filed against Joshua (Joe) Shoemaker, Brandon Vinson, and five other unnamed Fairfax County Police officers. It claimed police officers were driving at excessive speeds and crashed into Edwin C. Roessler, Jr.'s vehicle, severely injuring his daughter.

On the evening of May 19, Fairfax County Police officers claimed they were responding to a call received regarding a "wanted person. The officers (who came from both Patrol and K-9 Units) were soon inside the apartment of the individual they claimed had called. Inside, they found a 22-year-old man named Gray Alan Combs, Jr. in a bedroom. Officers were familiar with Combs from interactions the previous Friday.

The police officers claim that in response to them Combs then "threatened them with a sword;" they also complained that he "refused to obey [their] commands."

The group of officers began to fire a barrage of bean bag rounds and lethal bullets at Combs.... (Bean bag rounds were also fired at his head during the attack, for which one officer was reportedly placed on "routine administrative leave" after the incident).

Combs sustained severe injuries from the officers' attack and he was taken to the hospital, where he died three days later.

Gray Alan Combs, Jr. was 22 years old.

Michelle Holden filed an Internal Affairs complaint against Kenneth Bridgeman alleging false arrest. He was exonerated by the Police Department.

A 2012 lawsuit alleged Officer Sepehri assaulted and spoke disrespectfully to him (Saad Usman Lodhi) during an arrest that he claimed was unlawful.
