That's a nice department. I took a gun safety class there last night and I have to say it was excellent. The Sheriff and Sargeant and other gentleman were so very kind and welcoming. The class was well done!

On November 3rd 2021, the Greene County Sheriffs Office received a report from the Greene County Department of Social Services involving a juvenile female. This information was immediately assigned to an Investigator assigned to our agencies I.C.A.C. and Special Victims Unit (SVU). Based on information obtained through the investigation, it was determined that these crimes happened in Greene County, against a juvenile who had been currently living here. On November 10th, 2021 , warrants were obtained on the suspect.. On November 12, 2021, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshalls Fugitive Task Force, the suspect was taken into custody without incident at his home in Manassas Park, Va. He has been transported to the Prince William County Jail.
Jefferson A Ortega-Hernandez, 24 years of age has been charged with the following:
Va Code 18.2- 61 – Rape

Once again people need to realize how important our police departments are here and across the country!! Thank u for continuing to help protect us.
I'm so heartbroken for the young lady. I pray she is surrounded with love and mountains of support.
Poor kid this man needs to stay locked up and have his thing cut off
This individual should be taught what " an eye for an eye" really means. Maybe a correctional officer will politely point him out during processing!!! Before he knows it, he won't be able to hold a fart! No sympathy for child rapists!
hope he gets a taste and MORE of what he did to that poor girl, in jail
he will be finding out what rape is all about when he goes to jail!!!!!
Throw the book at him!
Which they would post stuff everyone safety
That poor child...
Jr Deane so true

We are currently experiencing phone line issues. If you call us and it doesn’t go through, immediately call back.
The issue seems to be intermittent and has been reported for repair.
We cannot stress enough the importance of locking your vehicles at night and not leaving anything of value in them.
There has been a rash of vandalism and burglary reported in multiple subdivisions.
Lock your vehicle doors! Don’t leave anything of value in your vehicle!
Might be a good idea to get proactive about it Greene County, Va. Sheriff's Office
hope they get right with Jesus if they come to my place, just sayin. . . . .
LOCK UP EVEN IN DAYTIME. ALWAYS...
Such a shame. They would be pretty upset to only find half empty water bottles in mine though.
Neighbor said I had a truck pull into my driveway at 2:40 AM last night. Neighbor said a black Chevy Silverado pulled into my driveway and knocked on our door and then got in his truck and left. Don’t know anybody with a black Silverado. May be staking out the neighborhood or something.
Guys help sonichu keeps asking random people to break into the jail please stop him
If I catch someone rooting through my car, I’ll ask the to please leave. LOL!
I was at work at the Greene County daycare center and somebody broke into my car and took my damn pocketbook days later my pocketbook was found at Wells Fargo at Fashion Square Mall so whoever broke into my pocketbook I had to have known them but if I ever catch you I got something really for you you may not like it but who cares
If I catch them in my car, Gus what, I hope they right with Jesus because they will meet him.
Joseph Hawkins
I am going to leave mine open and something will be waiting for that ass
****IMPORTANT****
We are asking everyone in the community to please lock your vehicle doors, especially at night and not to leave anything of value in your vehicles.
We have recently had a rash of vehicle break ins with the latest being Cedar Grove Rd, Springhill Rd, Rolling Hills and Wetsel Village. These break ins are not noticed until the morning after.
If you have any information or video footage please contact the Sheriff's Office at 434-985-2222.
Lock your doors and load up the mags 😎
Put up cameras, driveway alarms and/or motion sensor lights. Be vigilant.
Add sterling lamm to the list. Someone stole $200 out of my purse which was our churches money.
They syphoning gas around our complex smh

Pretty simple to just lock your damn car doors. Nothing like tying up deputies with these stupid calls because people are too lazy to secure their vehicles.

***SHOP WITH A COP SIGN UP****
Our office will be accepting registrations from Greene County residents for our annual Shop With A Cop on Friday, October 1st from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, October 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Registration is required on those dates at the American Legion Hall, 636 Madison Road, Stanardsville, VA.
NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER OCTOBER 2nd!!
What is the process? I don’t know anything about this event?
Is this for Christmas ?
Child Passenger Safety Week is scheduled for September 19-25, 2021.
National data indicates that car crashes are a leading cause of death for children.
On average, two children under 13 were killed and an estimated 374 were injured every day in 2019 while riding in cars, SUVs, pickups, and vans. Nationally, 608 child passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes in 2019. 38% of children who died in 2019 while riding in passenger vehicles were unrestrained, compared to 33% in 2018.
Read this, then read it again. Nationally 38% of 608 child passenger deaths were unrestrained. That’s hard to ingest. Seatbelts take seconds to put on and can save years of someone’s life. Even JUST going down the road a short way, JUST going to the store…it takes seconds to buckle your children in.
Buckle your children in......they're worth it!
****UPDATE****
Angie Martinez Garcia has been found and is safe. Thank you Virginia State Police and US Marshals for their efforts in locating her.

Forever in my thoughts and prayers. But my thought on this is,what a way to dishonor the Americans that gave their lives to save other Americans on this day, then to bring refugees from that country and put the American people in harms way again. Way to go Biden

That is the way it was done all over the south. I remember when I was younger Drivers would stop and show respect to the deceased. It needs to be the law. I think it is the law but one on the book that is not upheld anymore.
