On 7/23/2024 at approximately 8:19 pm, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Dyke Road and Evergreen Church Road for a Welfare check on an elderly male who was last seen at approximately 4 pm mowing grass. Upon further investigation, this incident quickly turned into a case of a missing endangered person. Law enforcement requested that Fire and Rescue respond to assist with a search, as well as our agency’s K9 Banga. Additional resources from outside agencies were also requested to respond, including a drone team and a bloodhound search dog. Just after midnight, the elderly male was located in a ravine, awake and talking. The male was extricated and turned over to EMS for treatment of dehydration and subsequently transported for further evaluation to a local
hospital. The Greene County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the following agencies and personnel:
Ruckersville Vol Fire Dept
Stanardsville Vol Fire Dept
Dyke Fire Dept (UTV and ATV)
Greene County Emergency Medical Services
Rockingham County Fire and Rescue Drone Team
Fairfax County Police Dept (Bloodhound)
Also, we would like to thank all of the citizens and neighbors in the area of the scene who came out with their ATVs and UTVs, to assist with searching. We are truly blessed to live in a great county.

On 7/24/2024 just after midnight, Deputy Mckee was operating radar in Ruckersville on Seminole Trail, when a vehicle entered his radar at 81mph in a 45mph zone. Deputy Mckee conducted a traffic stop. The driver was identified as Victor M Maldonado from Lilburn, Georgia. Upon further investigation, Maldonado was found to be wanted out of Puerto Rico on weapons charges. Maldonado was taken into custody without incident. He is currently being held at the Central Virginia Regional Jail awaiting Extradition.
Our law enforcement officers may be working in small country areas but they can be in some very dangerous situations. So glad this criminal didn't try to harm Deputy McKee. Always keep them in your prayers 🙏

July 19th, 2024 -UPDATE !!! Walker was taken into custody this morning, at a residence in Louisa County without incident.
On June 17th, 2024, Sergeant M. Gresham conducted a traffic stop on Caeleb J Walker. Upon checking Walker's information, it was found that he had an outstanding Felony Warrant out of another jurisdiction. Walker, in his mother's car, thought it was a good idea to flee from the traffic stop, A short pursuit ensued but was terminated based on the sergeant having already identified Walker and the community safety. Due to these actions, he now has additional charges.
46.2-817 Felony Elude
18,2-460 Obstruction
46.2-862 Reckless Driving

One undeniable fact demonstrates the importance of following speed limits: the faster you're driving, the more likely you are to be killed in a crash. Here's why:
Acceleration and Deceleration Forces: During a crash, the vehicle experiences rapid acceleration or deceleration, causing occupants to move forward or backward forcefully. Higher speeds result in greater forces, increasing the risk of injury.
Inertia: Newton's First Law states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In a crash, occupants continue moving at the vehicle's speed until stopped by a seat belt, air bag or other interior structure. The faster the vehicle is traveling, the greater the inertia. This leads to more severe injuries upon sudden deceleration.
Increased Impact Forces: As speed increases, so does the force of impact in a collision. The energy involved in a crash grows exponentially with speed. This means that even small increases in speed can dramatically impact the severity of injuries to occupants.
Reduced Reaction Time: Higher speeds reduce the time available for drivers to react to hazards on the road. A split-second delay in recognizing and responding to a potential danger can make the difference between a near miss and a catastrophic collision.
Decreased Control: Driving at high speeds reduces a driver's ability to maintain control of the vehicle, especially in adverse weather conditions or on winding roads. Loss of control at high speeds can lead to loss of vehicle stability, rollovers and more severe crashes.
Incompatibility with Crash Safety Systems: Modern vehicles are equipped with sophisticated safety features designed to protect occupants in the event of a crash. However, these systems are less effective at higher speeds, as the forces involved may exceed their protective capabilities.
Increased Risk of Ejection: High-speed crashes are more likely to result in ejection of vehicle occupants, significantly increasing the risk of serious or fatal injuries.
Are the speed cameras on Rt 33 on all the time or are they just when the school zone lights are flashing? Seems to be a lot of high speed driving through those areas.
Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for ALL you do to help keep us all safe.💙

READ AND HEED......
Traffic Alert - The crossover at Morris Farm will be CLOSED for tomorrow's event. All traffic will travel Westbound on Rt 33 and make a U-turn at the Traffic Light (Amicus Road). Use the right lane when approaching the event. There will be Orange cones set up.
**Any vehicle parked on Rt 33, Eastbound or Westbound, will be towed at the owner's expense. Please do not park in yards or farms without the owner's permission. We are looking forward to a great community event.
In past years, exiting the event when it's over has been a struggle. If I reminder the last 2 years correctly, the parking lot on the western side of the event was being let out into the right lane of 33 East. But that meant the traffic in the parking on the eastern side of the event had to wait for all of the cars from the western side were gone. Last year, that was over an hour before almost any car could make it out of the lot on the eastern side. Could it be more efficient if bith lanes of 33 East was temporarily closed and the cars from the western side of the event exit into the left lane, and the cars from the eastern side of the event exit into the right lane? Then you could have double the amount of cars leaving at once.
You had a deputy telling people we COULD park on 33. I would have never parked there if she had said no. Maybe next year make it a little more clearer to your deputies on what the game plan is.
I am looking forward to it.
Is there a cost to get into this event? Or what is the cost of the activities?
What time are the fireworks, in order to drug my dogs plz?
Still on even if it rains?

We go to bed thinking the Lord to wake up to keep everyone safe And how crime is climbing in a small town and Ruckersville When you go into a small business and come out, your car is stolen nobody knows nothing and all the people that was welcome and my sister’s house on Christmas. Nothing is nothing known about a stolen car.
Who is the car registered to?
Don't nobody care about this. Did y'all know there was a 2003 Chevy Tracker missing?
No wonder Crime escalating in Greene the face of Greene is vape shops used car lots tent cities drugs and thugs ... Dont you wonder why no family oriented businesses coming to Greene ....you all know why ..... the money train gang is making millions off your misery
Why is my Aunts vehicle 2003 Chevy Tracker Not mentioned anywhere ... surely its not the same old reason for the past 40 years we have lived in Greene County ... that it was STOLEN AT THE SHELL GAS STATION ON THE DEANS LAND .. Was shocked at the filth and abandoned cars and total nasty decline ..and who knew a tent city that the Deputys claim they cant touch ...YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHO IS SUPPORTING ALL THAT MESS ..WHO IN THE COUNTY IS PROTECTING ALL THAT MESS ... THE MONEY TRAIN GATEWAY INTO GREENE COUNTY ... totally disgusting the elderly disabled have their only car STOLEN RIGHT THERE IN RUCKERSVILLE AND NOT A PEEP .... there are a few of us with high intellect that have worked in high level corruption in 3rd world countries and who know all about your mess in little RUCKERSVILLE VIRGINIA

Cash REWARDS 💸 💰 FOR INFORMATION WHO STOLE MY ELDERLY AUNTS VEHICLE AND WHERE IT GOT SOLD AND INFORMATION ABOUT ORGANIZED OPERATION THERE IN UGLY LITTLE RUCKERSVILLE VA
While this post is comical, it is also very true. Please remember the 4th is an extremely busy holiday for our deputies and dispatchers. Please understand that they cannot answer calls that are related to fireworks and noise that are not emergencies.
Please have a safe 4th of July.
I do have a genuine question with no malice behind it: it is SO dry that I would have expected a restriction on personal firework use? I understand big productions such that the county might put on can have precautions in place and/or fire department on standby but since a flicked cigarette can cause a median/mulch fire right now I think there are valid worries due to moderate drought conditions.
I don't think the graphic is very funny, I know of many wildfires and injuries caused by illegal fireworks. I realize this may not be high on your list but I do think you should not make light and if there is an opportunities to respond you should.
If my cat is shooting back ... well dang ...Im gonna help him reload and make a video ..sorry ..sad but true!!
One tough cat
Nah if my cat is using a pew pew ima need more than yall 🤣🤣
Good kitty, nice kitty.
Tori Davis Godspeed my friend
