Unfortunately, we see these types of speed in Ruckersville daily. This occurred yesterday on Seminole Trail in the area of Luckstone Drive. The highest speed on Spotswood Trail yesterday was 93/55 in the area of Woodridge Subdivision. Both of these events are inexcusable and put others at extreme risk.

“It’s not a bus stop. It’s a MUST STOP!” Our children are worth more than a $250 citation. They are priceless.
With Virginians expected to hit the roads for the Thanksgiving holiday, and in many cases travel long distances, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office are increasing their presence on our highways and launching an awareness campaign to promote safe driving habits. The initiative coincides with the annual "Click It or Ticket" campaign and Mother's Against Drunk Driving's winter holidays DUI-prevention campaign. Starting Monday November 25, 2024 and continuing through Sunday, December 1, 2024, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office will be out in force as part of Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness and Reduction Effort). The increased presence aims to reduce traffic fatalities and accidents during the holiday period. Last Thanksgiving, half of the 11 traffic fatalities in Virginia involved people who were not wearing a seatbelt.
Our agency has already responded to numerous deer related crashes. Fall is mating season for deer, which makes them more active. They're more likely to pop out during the early morning or evening commute, so it's recommended to use your vehicle's high beams when you can and be extra vigilant during those times.
Special Attention Rt 33 Business!
The main water line has been struck by a contractor. The estimated time before water will be back on is approximately 6hrs.
Thank you for the info
Illegal Hunting
The Greene County Sheriff's Office launched an operation on Friday, November 22nd, in the area of Snow Mountain Road, following numerous complaints of illegal hunting activities, including shooting from the roadway, trespassing, and spotlighting. As a result of this operation, Benjamin Jenkins was charged under Virginia Code Section 18.2-286, which pertains to discharging a firearm from the roadway.
The Greene County Sheriff's Office encourages citizens to report any illegal hunting activities to the Sheriff's Office, as this poses a serious threat to public safety.
Now y'all need to put that much energy in the catching the other crimes around green you kno that big operation

1. Leave the scares to haunted houses 🏚️, spooky music 🎶, and frightening movies! 🧛 Don’t turn those into real-life dangers by drinking and driving. Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.
🚨Update: Subject in Custody🚨
I think this needs to be looked into further. Maybe state police or further. If this case involves Greene county police employees they should not be involved in the process period.
There’s 2 sides to every story but seems to me the dispatcher started all this trying to mess with someone’s finance 🤷🏻♀️ I’d act the same way, if not worse. Sorry not sorry
These Greene County deputies think they are above the law. She is not the only person they have harassed .
Now this is funny.... There is always 2 sides to every story which im sure we aren't getting all of it. People act big but then play the victim...
This is insane
This girl likes to vedio people and record their conversations so without them even knowing so if the green county sheriff's officer's are doing what she says they doing where is her proof
Also people do say things out of anger etc and not mean a word I don't know her or the other people or situations and I won't judge her
This Tacky ASF cops always looking for somebody to do their job
Sad world we live in get the full story bf you start assuming shit!!
Wow. Come on Greene. This redic
It’s been a while since yall posted a FF post
How are you guys going to use the photo from the live she did explaining how she feels threatened by the police officers? lol. Weird.
Is this for real???
Don't let the innocent look fool you, a woman can kill with no afterthought, or remorse whatsoever, just like a man can.
🤔😂 went to high school with her never ever thought she would be like that but get it girl I kinda know ur history with guys, you go fuckin get it 😂
Is she a minor?
Sounds like Virginia State Police needs to get involved and investigate. Has the dispatcher been terminated?
Oh hell yeah get these scum off deez streets
I know this girl she can talk the shit but when shit goes goes down then you want to play the victim. How you engage yrs ago but has been broken up both of yall have been seening other people. I don't feel sorry for her sorry ass...I can tell you alot about that chick so if you want to know more inbox me or I can air out her dirty landury on fb...
Hilarious how she posted a video explaining what’s happening to her then here Greene county goes with the “jokes” . Fucking sad! Prayers for this young women! Do better GCPD. 🤬
I know this young lady but she's not the criminal here she's the victim. Known her since she was younger I know her dad I know where Mom and they're both amazing people who raised her quite well. I'm going to add her video she posted because you can hear the tone of where she's scared. So I don't think it's her trying to cause harm to anyone. www.facebook.com/share/v/5qQa5osfrK6SSX7F/
