Huguely hearing postponed CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Former University of Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely V will not appear in court Jan. 21 as scheduled after his lawyers argued before a judge Monday that there is still a significant amount of evidence under review. Charlottesville District Court Judge Robert H. Downer Jr. granted a continuance on the case without setting a new date for Huguely’s preliminary hearing in the May 2010 slaying of his former girlfriend, women’s lacrosse player Yeardley Love. Huguely did not attend the five-minute hearing Monday and waived his right to appear by video feed. Five additional charges were filed late Friday, including felony murder, robbery, burglary, statutory burglary and grand larceny.
Man kills roommate
A 53-year-old man was arrested after police said he shot and killed his roommate early Monday. David Laws was charged with murder after a shooting at his home in Manassas. Prince William County Police said Laws’ roommate, Walter John Sulzbach, and a woman, 50, came home, and the two men got into an argument. Police said Laws shot Sulzbach and shot at the woman but missed. Laws then called police and said there had been a shooting. Police arrived and found the woman in the house uninjured and arrested Laws.
Church targeted
Montgomery County police are investigating burglaries and an assault at a Silver Spring church. Twice in the past two months, someone has broken into New Creation Baptist Church. Stolen from a safe were church documents and cash and jars containing about 40,000 pennies. On Sunday, one of the pastors found an intruder in a bathroom, but the suspect punched him then fled. The suspect is a white male, about 25 years old, 5 feet 10 inches and 190 pounds with blond hair worn above the collar. He was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans.
