An Alexandria city employee was arrested in Spotsylvania County and charged with three felonies, Alexandria officials said Thursday. Robert Mains, an employee in the Department of Emergency Communications, was charged with forgery, identity theft and using false information to obtain a loan. City officials and Spotsylvania County authorities would not provide any additional details of the charges against Mains, but they said the charges are unrelated to Main’s work for Alexandria.
The Alexandria Police Department began investigating Mains in October on those charges, after which the city placed him on administrative leave without pay. Alexandria police eventually transferred the case to Spotsylvania County, where Mains lives. The Alexandria Police Department did not return a call seeking comment. Though Alexandria police had started the investigation, such cases are typically transferred to the suspect’s home county and Spotsylvania authorities eventually made the arrest.
