Driver charged after holding up gun, yelling at Woodbridge intersection

WASHINGTON — A Fredericksburg, Virginia, man was arrested Tuesday more than a month after he allegedly held a gun and yelled at another driver at an intersection in Woodbridge.

Jesse William Blair Lyon, 30, was charged with brandishing a weapon.

Police responded to the intersection of Minnieville Road and Spriggs Road on June 1 shortly before 6:30 p.m. The 25-year-old victim told police he was stopped at a traffic light when Lyon, driving a Chevrolet pickup truck, pulled up next to him.

Lyon held a gun, pointed it upward and yelled at the victim about his driving before pulling away.

The victim drove away to an area business to contact police.

Below is a map of the intersection where the incident happened.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
