An afternoon pursuit led to a manhunt in Aquia Harbour late last night
Quebedeaux responded to Briar Patch Park for an officer in need of assistance
An Aquia Harbour officer advised he was attempting to pull over a vehicle that “just took off.” That officer advised the driver was a Hispanic man wearing a black shirt currently driving a black Honda

No deputies or citizens were injured during the pursuit
K-9 and the drone team were called out to assist
Deputy S.T Myers was on a K-9 track with his K-9 partner

The plane was bound for Tallahassee International Airport, the FAA said.
A 35-year-old Stafford man was arrested for DUI and a host of other offenses after a Wednesday evening traffic stop in Aquia Harbour.
The uncooperative and intoxicated driver, identified as Devon Mulgrew, refused to exit his vehicle and was rummaging through the glove box. The Aquia Harbour Officer was able to remove Mulgrew from the vehicle and handcuff him on the ground nearby. Sergeant M.L. Jacobeen arrived and assisted Mulgrew into the back of a police car as Mulgrew continued to caterwaul.
Mulgrew was subsequently charged with DUI, possession of a controlled substance, obstruction, possession of controlled paraphernalia, refusal, a traffic lane violation, and a traffic sign violation. He compounded his troubles when he assaulted a deputy at the Magistrate’s Office. Mulgrew was additionally charged with assault and battery on law enforcement and held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

A country club restaurant in Stafford County
is facing backlash after posting a special menu featuring entirely 9/11-themed dishes and drinks last week
The menu labeled “Seafood Sunday” at The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour in Stafford included dishes like the “First Responder Flatbread,” “9-11 Oysters” and “Flight 93 Redirect” crab dip
Other dishes included chocolate silk “Pentagon Pie” for dessert
a key lime-flavored “Remember-tini” and the “Never Forget” Sampler
but not before it was shared on social media
The restaurant has now put out a football-themed menu on its Facebook page for Sunday instead
According to Channel 7, a manager at the club issued an apology for the menu on Facebook earlier this week

Aquia Harbour Golf Club/FacebookThe Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour in Stafford County
received immediate backlash for their menu offerings
As the 21st anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks approaches
one restaurant in Virginia decided to commemorate the event in what many considered a tasteless fashion: decking out their menu with 9/11-themed items
The “Patriot Day 2022 Seafood Sunday” menu had been advertised by The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour in Stafford, Virginia, Newsweek reported
it had already made its rounds on social media — with plenty of backlash
native Brian Sasser called the menu advertisement “appalling” for featuring items such as the “Never Forget Sampler,” “9-11 Oysters,” the “Flight 93 Redirect” hot crab dip crostini
and the “2977 Chowder” — a reference to the official death toll of the terror attacks
And for couples who sought to try everything
the restaurant also offered a $50 “Never Forget Sampler,” which the restaurant noted would “Save $22!” on “Eats and Drinks for 2!” They even offered a themed beverage to go with their seafood specials
the “Remember-tini,” a key lime and coconut rum cocktail served up with whipped cream and a honey graham rim
FacebookThe Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour’s “Patriot Day 2022 Seafood Sunday” menu
Other Twitter users responded, calling the menu items “vile” and “insensitive.” According to the Virginia Department of Veteran Services
the state is home to over 780,000 veterans
making up more than 9 percent of Virginia’s population
“This is so awful for anyone who lost someone on 9/11 or people who watched it happen right in front of them,” tweeted user Kathleen Schmidt
“I’m one of those people.”
“I haven’t cringed this hard since the first time I saw the ‘atomic roll’ on a sushi menu.”
Other users compared this very real promotion to a Subway advertisement shared by The Onion in 2018 for “Subtember 11th,” saying “You Will ‘Never Forget’ This deal.”
the biggest difference is that The Onion is a satirical news site
the Subway advertisement wasn’t real
but a commentary on how businesses seek to profit off the tragedy of 9/11
satirical Subway promotion tweeted by The Onion in 2018
The Clubhouse isn’t the first brand to use 9/11 for marketing, though. Others have felt the need to capitalize on the tragedy publicly on social media in the past, many of which have been collected in an article from HuffPost
Perhaps one of the more egregious examples came from another Virginia business: Bikram Yoga
The studio was one of many locations founded by yogi Bikram Choudhury
the subject of the Netflix documentary Bikram: Yogi
Evidently, misplaced, tone-deaf brand tweets and promotions regarding 9/11 had become so commonplace that in 2019, Fast Company deemed it newsworthy to note that most companies had in fact chosen to simply remain silent — except for one “noteworthy blip” from Ledo Pizza in Annapolis
The pizza chain reportedly tweeted “#NeverForget,” accompanied by a photo of its square pizza

and as social media has become a core part of many people’s lives
brands have tried to adjust to the rapidly changing advertising sphere
often sharing tweets and social posts that sound closer to a friend’s commentary than an advertisement
And while it may have been fun — for a time — to see companies like Wendy’s replying to users or starting beef with their competitors in a friendly back-and-forth on Twitter
it’s clear that most people today have grown wary of how brands engage with online audiences
The widespread criticism of 9/11 marketing
and the general disillusionment and cynicism regarding brands’ social media presence combine to make The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbour’s Patriot Day menu particularly misguided
the Clubhouse’s manager George White issued a public statement
“I apologize for those I offended with the 9/11 seafood Sunday post
My intention was to bring attention to that horrific day 21 years ago
To honor those who lost so much as well [as] those who gave everything that day
less than 24 hours after posting the original menu
the Clubhouse released its updated Sunday menu with a football theme
Items like the “Freedom Flounder,” “2977 Chowder,” and “Pentagon Pie” were replaced by the “Fumble Flounder,” Champ Chowder,” and “Coin Toss Chocolate Pie.”

According to local ABC affiliates

VA — Several facilities in the Fredericksburg area recorded violations during recent inspections from the Rappahannock Area Health District
Inspectors conducted the most recent visits between June 7 and June 13
all food service locations are supposed to be inspected at least once per year
Facilities with higher risk factors may be inspected as often as four times per year
according to the Virginia Department of Health
Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination
The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected
the follow-up inspection only considers the most important "priority" violations
the inspector provides a specific corrective action that can be completed to rectify the violation
and violations can be corrected during the course of the inspection
Depending on the results of the inspection
the health department can pursue several actions
They can issue a permit for the restaurant to continue serving food
they can schedule a follow-up inspection to determine if violations have been rectified
or they can temporarily shut down an establishment until certain issues are solved
The Virginia Department of Health only recommends restaurants have their permits suspended when "the continued operation of the foodservice presents a substantial and imminent threat to the public health."
Here are the most recent violations as listed by the Rappahannock Area Health Department:
The following facilities did not record any violations:

foodies in the area reminisced about Carlos O'Kelly's chips
"We were always going there for family birthdays and celebrations; my son got his first job there," Rosie Lewis Desimone wrote on Facebook."It was the watering hole for anyone who lived in Aquia Harbour; the best restaurant in the area since the late 80s!"

Failure to fix the Aquia Town Center sign led Stafford supervisors to cancel a deal with the owner
The 25-acre shopping center near Aquia Harbour
A plan to revitalize Aquia Town Center took a hit when Harris Teeter withdrew plans to open there
A plan to redevelop Aquia Town Center has taken a step backward
Stafford County supervisors voted unanimously to terminate the county’s memorandum of understanding with property owner Mosaic Realty Partners because of the company’s failure to install new sign panels at the entrance of the former shopping center just outside the gates of Aquia Harbour
The termination of the agreement means the real estate developer will lose millions of dollars in incremental tax incentives
It also means the center’s future continues to remain uncertain
but we have to do what’s right,” said Supervisor Cindy Shelton
“We have a contract and we have to comply with it.”
county supervisors and Mosaic signed an amended memorandum of understanding that outlined several maintenance and clean-up requirements for the Maryland-based real estate company
the memorandum called for Mosaic to mow grassy areas on the property; remove scattered debris and piles of asphalt
seed and mulch the southeast corner of the lot; remove a chain-link fence; add opaque screening in certain areas; and manage stormwater
According to Stafford County Communications Director Andrew Spence
Mosaic completed the property maintenance requirements outlined in the July memorandum
supervisors directed county staff to contact Mosaic regarding the discrepancy
but when a response was not provided by the company
a notice of failure was sent that same month
Mosaic Principal Eron Sodie said Monday he had been talking to county officials regarding the sign panel issue and maintained his firm was working on a solution to the problem
“There’s a way to do it that doesn’t waste money and there’s a way to do it that actually is productive towards the project and we’re just trying to figure out a way that makes them happy with the result,” he said
“I’ve been talking to them about it for about the past couple weeks
The 25-acre North Stafford site was once a vibrant
anchored by a Shoppers Food Warehouse and Regal Cinemas
Original plans by the property owner called for a sprawling
despite the county’s plan that would have provided at least $6.25 million in tax rebates to Mosaic
the project appeared to be gaining some momentum when Harris Teeter announced it would build a supermarket to anchor the development
but the chain pulled out after the developer’s request to more than double the incentive proved unsuccessful
the only tenants in the vicinity are a Subway restaurant and an information technology consulting firm
The remainder of Aquia Town Center remains desolate and vacant
Shelton said supervisors have provided Mosaic with options they have failed to follow through on
“We’ve been trying to help them,” Shelton said
“We’ve contacted them with options and they’ve done nothing

A Stafford County woman has been charged with killing her husband outside their Aquia Harbour home earlier this year
is charged with first-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony
She is being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail
She was arrested yesterday afternoon at her home on Manila Cove
the same place where 27-year-old James Charles Hamilton George was found lying in his yard the morning of May 24 with a bullet wound to the head
Stafford Sheriff Charles Jett would not divulge much about the three-month investigation yesterday
saying he didn't want to jeopardize the prosecution of the case
But other sources said previously that authorities were exploring the possibility that insurance money may have been a motive
Jett said that although Erin George was a suspect almost right away
detectives Jim Truslow and Jeff DeBord looked into other possibilities
"We tried to keep an open mind," Jett said
"But the further along we got in the investigation
the more the evidence kept pointing to her."
the Georges and their young children had only lived in Aquia Harbour for a short time before James George's death
a neighbor on his way to work spotted the body sprawled in the George's yard
Jett said Erin George told police she'd last seen her husband about 11:30 the previous night when they went outside to look for their lost dog
It turned out that the dog had been picked up by animal control earlier May 23
George told police that when they couldn't find the dog
but several said they heard a single gunshot during the night
Erin George was indicted by a Stafford grand jury Tuesday
but the indictments were kept sealed until her arrest
The May slaying stunned residents in the gated community in North Stafford
many of whom said they could not remember the last time someone was killed there
It was not clear last night how long the Georges had been married or where they lived before moving to Aquia Harbour
Erin George grew up in Braehead Woods in Fredericksburg and attended Longwood College
where she was the editor of her college newspaper
She was to be arraigned next week in circuit court

Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of the dreaded day, one that many Americans (and people from all over the world) mourn annually. Due to this, it was hard for Twitter users to grasp what the intentions were when the Clubhouse restaurant at Aquia Harbour in Stafford, Virginia served a Patriot Day 2022 menu Sunday, per People
This is especially true when considering the Virginia restaurant's proximity to the Pentagon attack
the internet was definitely in a tizzy when the restaurant posted the menu online
Twitter users were completely stunned when they came across the Clubhouse restaurant at Aquia Harbour's Patriot Day 2022 menu. One Twitter user wrote
owner of this restaurant in Virginia was thinking making a 9/11 themed menu," along with a screenshot
The Sampler came with several aforementioned items along with two cups of 2977 Chowder
Several other Twitter users were unhappy with this, too. One user wrote, "A restaurant in Virginia using a 9/11 themed menu? Trash. Pure trash. 9/11 is NOT to be joked about. Period." Another Tweet claimed they saw it coming
"I've said for years that 9/11 would eventually transmute into what all patriotic-coded American holidays are
Just can't believe it took 21 years," they commented
According to Daily Mail, restaurant owner George White issued an apology on a Facebook community page. "I apologize for those I offended with the 9/11 seafood Sunday post
To honor those who lost so much as well those who gave everything that day," he wrote
The restaurant then updated the online menu to reflect a football theme.
