Slide over Santa…the Fredericksburg Sheriff's Office has got this shopping spree covered.

Nearly 50 local seniors enjoyed holiday shopping for the 4th Annual Shop With The Sheriff at the Central Park Walmart last Saturday. Each was paired with a deputy or volunteer to assist in checking items off their Christmas lists, while Fredericksburg Sheriff Scott Foster worked the checkout, helping load baskets and picking up each tab. The event was one of the last official duties for Foster, who retires this year.

While the Sheriff headlines the event, the idea to treat local seniors to a little Christmas charity was put into action by Deputy Sheila Jones after hearing the suggestion from a former employee.

Jones worked to raise a budget of $250 for each senior, with those funds provided by the Fraternal Order of the Eagles #4123, Knights of Pythias Lodge #22, the Fredericksburg Elks Lodge #875 and the Moose Family Center #1655.

Among this year’s volunteers were Jones’ granddaughter and husband Keith, a former Fredericksburg Police Officer and member of the Prince Hall Lodge #61 (which also provided help). Fredericksburg Commonwealth's Attorney Libby Humphries was also among the volunteers.

Fredericksburg Department of Social Services helped identify local seniors in need.

The event has grown substantially since it first started in 2021 with ten seniors. Newly-elected Sheriff Rashawn Cowles, who also volunteered last Saturday, plans to continue the effort during his tenure.

📌 Correction: each senior's budget has been corrected to $250 instead of $200. Also Fredericksburg Sheriff Deputies, not Fredericksburg Social Services, helped seniors with transportation.

A city resident says their outdoor camera captured a bear wandering through the parking lot of their apartment building in downtown Fredericksburg early Monday morning.

The video appears to show a black bear lumbering through the parking lot of their William Street apartment complex shortly after midnight on the morning of December 15th. There were no reports of any damage.

Captain Davis with Spotsylvania Animal Control, which provide services to the city, says bear sightings in the area are “not unusual.”

The Fredericksburg Police Department is investigating a struck pedestrian on William Street in downtown Fredericksburg late Thursday evening.

Shortly before 10:00 PM, a call was received for a struck pedestrian in the 800 block of William Street near the intersection with Kenmore Avenue. That call was made by the driver at the vehicle, who stated that the victim began walking around after lying in the street for a brief period of time.

That individual would eventually be transported to a local hospital for treatment with unknown injuries.

The incident follows a previous report of a struck pedestrian earlier in the evening in the area of the 1000 block of Charles Street near the intersection with Amelia Street. According to radio traffic, that individual was examined on the scene but declined medical treatment.

Santa had a lot of help at Saturday's annual Shop with a Cop, courtesy of FOP Rappahannock Area Lodge #15.

Members of the Fredericksburg Police Department, Fredericksburg Sheriff's Office and other area law enforcement agencies took over the Central Park Target on Saturday for a little Christmas charity for more than 200 local kids.

The retailer opened an hour early at 6:00 AM as officers and other volunteers to each pair with a child and help them spend their provided $125 holiday budget on gifts for themselves and loved ones. Clothes, toys and games were all popular choices.

Formerly known as the Richard L. Parsons Memorial Shop with a Cop Project, the holiday giveback has provided Christmas gifts to more than 5,000 children since 2002.
